FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials from the Department of Economic Development - Division of Professional Registration (DPR) assume this legislation would make various changes to meet the federal requirements for real estate appraisers and therefore, would have no fiscal impact on DPR.

Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) assume the proposed legislation would require the printing of additional pages in the Missouri Register and the Code of State Regulations and have estimated a one-time publishing and distribution cost of $3,025 for FY 99. While this bill alone would not require SOS to acquire additional staff, SOS assumes the

cumulative effect of additional Register and Code publishing duties could, at some point, require additional staff. However, Oversight assumes SOS could increase fees to cover any additional costs, per Section 536.033, RSMo.

Officials from the Office of the Attorney General (AGO), Department of Revenue (DOR), Office of State Courts Administrator (CTS), Department of Transportation (DHT), Administrative Hearing Commission (AHC) and the Office of the State Treasurer (STO) assume the proposed legislation would have either minimal or no fiscal impact on their agencies.

DESCRIPTION

Current law provides for two classes of certified real estate appraisers. These are residential real estate appraiser and general real estate appraiser. This act adds state-licensed real estate appraiser to the list. The act contains provisions covering license renewal, failure to renew in a specified time and renewal of an expired license. The act also deletes the thirty hour requirement for continuing education. This requirement will be set by the Appraisal Qualification Board with the approval of the Real Estate Commission. Various definitions are changed or added to Section 339.503 of this act. The Real Estate Commission may refuse to issue or renew any certificate or license issued pursuant to sections 339.500 to 339.549 for any cause set out in subsection 2 of section 339.532 of this act. Violations of the provisions of Sections 339.500 to 339.549 of this act are Class B misdemeanors.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
