Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to trainee real estate appraisers; amending RCW 2 18.140.280; and providing an effective date. 3
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing law regarding trainee real estate appraisers, specifically concerning the duration and renewal of their registrations. The key change allows for extensions to the standard two-year registration period and its maximum of two renewals, which are typically limited to a seven-year timeframe, if the trainee experiences delays due to illness or other extenuating circumstances confirmed by a health care provider, or due to service in the U.S. armed forces. The bill also defines "health care provider" to include individuals licensed to practice health services in the state or their employees/agents acting within their scope of employment, and allows the department to create a form for confirming such circumstances. The amendments are set to take effect on May 1, 2027.
