Continuing education requirements for renewal or accepted other studies and projects.

339.530. 1. As a prerequisite of renewal of certification or licensure,

a state-certified real estate appraiser or state-licensed real estate

appraiser shall present evidence satisfactory to the commission of having met

the continuing education requirements as provided in this section. The basic

continuing education requirements for renewal of certification or licensure

shall be the completion by the state-certified real estate appraiser or

state-licensed real estate appraiser, during the immediately preceding term

of certification or licensure, of continuing education as prescribed by the

appraiser qualifications board and approved by the commission.



2. In lieu of meeting the requirements of subsection 1 of this section,

an applicant for renewal of certification or licensure may satisfy all or

part of the requirements of this section by presenting evidence of the

following:



(1) Completion of courses of study determined by the commission to be

equivalent, for continuing education purposes, to courses approved by the

commission pursuant to subsection 1 of this section;



(2) Participation, other than as a student, in educational processes and

programs in real property appraisal theory, practices, or techniques,

including, but not limited to, teaching, program development, and preparation

of textbooks, monographs, articles, and other instructional materials, all to

be approved by the commission.



3. The commission shall adopt regulations for implementation of the

provisions of this section to assure that state-certified real estate

appraisers renewing their certifications and state-licensed real estate

appraisers renewing their licenses have current knowledge of real property

appraisal theories, practices, and techniques which will provide a high

degree of service and protection to those members of the public with whom

they deal in a professional relationship under authority of the certification

or licensure. Such regulations shall prescribe the following:



(1) Policies and procedures for obtaining commission approval of courses

of instruction pursuant to this section;



(2) Standards, policies, and procedures to be applied by the commission

in evaluating an applicant's claims of equivalency pursuant to this section;



(3) Standards, monitoring methods, and systems for recording attendance

to be employed by course sponsors as a prerequisite to commission approval of

courses for credit.



4. In adopting regulations pursuant to this section, the commission

shall give favorable consideration to courses of instruction, seminars, and

other real property appraisal education courses or programs previously or

hereafter developed by or under the auspices of professional appraisal

organizations and utilized by those associations for purposes of designation,

certification, licensure, recertification or relicensure of the members of the

association.



5. No amendment or repeal of a regulation adopted by the commission

pursuant to this section shall operate to deprive a state-certified real

estate appraiser or state-licensed real estate appraiser of credit toward

renewal of certification or licensure for any course of instruction completed

prior to the amendment or repeal of the regulation, if the course would have

qualified for continuing education credit under the regulation as it existed

prior to the repeal or amendment.
