Commission approves continuing education courses and hears audit, staffing, and personnel updates
Summary
The Real Estate Appraisal Commission voted to approve a set of continuing-education courses, received progress updates on an ongoing audit (including three voluntary license surrenders), and was notified of the death of appraiser Michael Allard; members were reminded statutory-change proposals are generally due in mid-August.
The Real Estate Appraisal Commission approved a batch of continuing-education course submissions and heard routine administrative updates from legal counsel and staff.
After reviewing course materials (listed on the agenda as AAL1589 through APR422), commissioners noted that a number of course providers had not sought or documented AQB/IDECC approvals on the paperwork. Legal counsel said this may reflect changes in provider paperwork or staff turnover at providers; the commission instructed staff to confirm approvals where needed. Jen moved to approve the listed courses; the motion was seconded, and the commission passed the motion by voice vote.
Staff reported progress on a separate appraisal audit: most subjects were brought into compliance as a result of the audit, though three licensees voluntarily surrendered their licenses. Staff also notified commissioners that appraiser Michael Allard passed away in late April. Legal counsel reminded commissioners that statutory or regulatory-change proposals are generally due by mid-August (she proposed Aug. 15 as a placeholder) and asked members to submit any proposals to staff.
The commission briefly discussed current vacancies: staff said at least one resume had been forwarded for consideration and notified the panel that Shauna officially retired July 1. The chair closed routine business, called for a motion to adjourn, and the commission adjourned; members were reminded the next meeting will be in person in Hartford in September.
What happens next: Staff will confirm course approvals (AQB/IDECC status) and prepare documentation, follow up on audit case status for the surrendered licenses, and collect requested applicant files for continued review in September.
