State Commission of Real Estate Appraisers, Appraisal Management Companies, and Home Inspectors - Sunset Extension and Report

HB 78 extends the operation of Maryland's State Commission for Real Estate Appraisers, Appraisal Management Companies, and Home Inspectors by delaying its automatic termination date from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2031. The bill requires the Maryland Department of Labor to submit a report to the Joint Audit and Evaluation Committee by July 1, 2028, detailing the Commission's activities and effectiveness. This bill directly affects the Commission's oversight of real estate appraisers, appraisal management companies, and home inspectors, ensuring continued regulation of these professions until 2031. The extension and reporting requirement are procedural updates to maintain regulatory authority without altering the Commission's current responsibilities.
