HF 2400 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Real estate appraisers; disciplinary sanction matrix established.

HF 2400 requires Minnesota's real estate appraiser commissioner to use the Appraisal Foundation's Voluntary Disciplinary Sanction Matrix as the standard when imposing disciplinary actions against appraisers. The bill directly affects licensed real estate appraisers in Minnesota by standardizing penalties for violations. The key provision mandates using this national matrix by default, though the commissioner may deviate for specific mitigating circumstances on a case-by-case basis. This creates a clearer, more consistent process for disciplinary decisions without changing substantive licensing requirements.

What changed between versions

Introduction 1st Engrossment · 3 edits · Apr 7, 2026
MINOR
The bill's title and posting date were updated to reflect its first engrossment version. The most significant change is a shift in how appraiser sanctions are determined: the commissioner is no longer required to use a specific disciplinary matrix from the Appraisal Foundation but now has full discretion to set penalties based on the specific facts of each case, treating the matrix only as optional guidance.
Scope change
The scope of enforcement discretion for the commissioner was expanded regarding appraiser sanctions.
ENFORCEMENT

The requirement to rely on the Appraisal Foundation's Voluntary Disciplinary Sanction Matrix was removed, replaced with language allowing the commissioner to use it only as nonbinding guidance.

The commissioner's ability to deviate from standard sanctions based on mitigating circumstances was removed, granting them complete discretion to determine appropriate sanctions based on case facts.

TECHNICAL

The document title was changed from 'Introduction' to '1st Engrossment' and the posting date was updated from March 2025 to April 2026.
