13 refuse to renew or may suspend, or revoke or otherwise sanction any license or

15 (a) Procuring licensure or certification pursuant to this chapter by
16 knowingly making a false statement, submitting false information, refusing
17 to provide complete information in response to a question in an applica-
18 tion for licensure or certification or through any form of fraud or mis-
19 representation;
20 (b) Being convicted of a felony;
21 (c) Making any substantial misrepresentation, false promises or false or
22 fraudulent representation;
23 (d) Violating the provisions of this chapter or any rules of the board;
24 (e) Being negligent or incompetent, as defined in the uniform standards
25 of professional appraisal practices, in developing an appraisal, in pre-
26 paring an appraisal report or in communicating an appraisal;
27 (f) Accepting an appraisal assignment when the employment is contingent
28 upon the licensed or certified appraiser reporting a predetermined esti-
29 mate, analysis or opinion, or where the fee to be paid is contingent upon
30 the opinion, conclusion, or valuation reached, or upon the consequences
31 resulting from the appraisal assignment;
32 (g) Violating the confidential nature of governmental records to which he

38 (i) Failing as a state licensed or certified real estate appraiser to

5 for a subpoena to require the attendance of such witnesses and the production
6 of such books, records and papers as it deems necessary. The fees and mileage
7 of the witnesses shall be the same as that allowed in the district courts in
8 civil cases, which fees and mileage shall be paid in the same manner as other
9 expenses of the board are paid. In any case of disobedience to, or neglect of,

25 this chapter shall pay a fee of not to exceed three hundred fifty dollars
26 ($350) to the bureau of occupational licenses. In case the applicant fails to
27 qualify, said fee shall be retained by the bureau to cover the necessary
28 expenses of said examination equal to that charged by the national examining
29 entity. If the result of the examination of any applicant shall be satisfac-
30 tory to the board, under its rules, it shall issue to such applicant a license
31 or certificate setting forth the fact that he is a state licensed or certified
32 real estate appraiser and authorized to practice his profession in this state.
33 The fee for reexamination shall not exceed two hundred dollars ($200). The fee
34 for obtaining a license or certificate under the provisions of this chapter
35 shall be an amount not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500). The annual fee
36 for renewal or reinstatement of a license or certificate shall be an amount
37 not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500), which shall be paid to the bureau.
38 The board shall adopt all fees by rule.
39 In addition to those fees described above, the board may collect from
40 applicants for licensure or certification and holders of state licenses or
41 certificates of appraisal and remit to the appropriate agency or instrumental-
42 ity of the federal government, any additional fees as may be required to ren-
43 der Idaho state licensed residential, certified residential and general real
44 estate appraisers eligible to perform appraisals in connection with federally-
45 related transactions.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 17366
This bill will add consideration of a disciplinary action of a real
estate appraiser licensee in another state as grounds for
discipline and add the right to refuse to issue or renew a license
under disciplinary proceedings in order to protect the public.
This bill will also allow that examination fees be paid directly to
the test administrator by the applicants.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact on General or dedicated funds as all fees
collected in the past were passed onto the test administrator.
