S 3079 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Accelerating Appraisals and Conservation Efforts Act

This bill allows real estate appraisers licensed in one state to work on federal property transactions nationwide, rather than requiring separate state licenses for each location. It directly affects covered appraisers (state-licensed/certified professionals) and the Department of the Interior (DOI), which must use these appraisers for federal property valuations. The DOI must report annually for four years on processing times, workforce staffing, and the impact of the new licensing flexibility, using quantitative data comparing pre- and post-enactment performance. The bill does not change state licensing rules for non-federal transactions but streamlines federal appraisal processes.
