Requires four hours of implicit bias training every two years for real estate appraisers

Senate Bill S 7656 requires real estate appraisers to complete implicit bias training as part of their continuing education for license renewal. The bill mandates that, out of the 28 hours of instruction required every two years for recertification or license renewal, at least four hours must be dedicated to implicit bias awareness and understanding. It defines "implicit bias" as unconscious attitudes or stereotypes that affect an individual's understanding, actions, and decisions. This training requirement directly affects all licensed real estate appraisers.
