Bill > HB2882

This bill establishes a two-year program by the Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board to support new real estate appraisers through two key initiatives: grants and temporary certificates/licenses. The board will provide grants of up to $2,000 to state certified and licensed appraisers who receive their credentials on or after January 1, 2026, contingent on available funding. Additionally, the board will create a process to issue temporary certificates and licenses to individuals who have completed the required education for appraiser certification or licensure, with rules governing the application process, experience requirements, fees, validity period, and restrictions on professional activities. These provisions are designed to support and incentivize new entrants into the real estate appraisal profession, with the program set to sunset on January 1, 2028. The bill makes corresponding technical amendments to various Oregon Revised Statutes to integrate these new provisions into existing law, ensuring that temporary certificate and license holders can perform the same professional functions as traditionally certified or licensed appraisers during the program's duration.
