Reduces membership of State Real Estate Appraiser Board and prohibits discriminatory practices in property appraisals.
This bill reduces the State Real Estate Appraiser Board from 11 to 7 members and prohibits appraisers from discriminating based on race, color, or national origin when valuing property. It directly affects licensed real estate appraisers, appraisal management companies, and property owners or buyers who may face discriminatory appraisals. Key provisions require appraisers to avoid bias in valuations, mandate restitution and anti-bias training for first violations, and impose suspensions or license revocations for repeated violations. The Department of Law and Public Safety will investigate complaints and direct disciplinary actions through the Appraiser Board.
