Providing consumers with equal protection for all real estate appraisals

AI Summary

This bill, titled "Providing consumers with equal protection for all real estate appraisals," aims to strengthen regulations around real estate appraisals by amending existing Massachusetts General Laws. Specifically, it modifies section 174 of chapter 112, which governs real estate appraisal licensing. The bill removes a previous provision (subdivision C) and inserts new language that clarifies that only individuals who have obtained a real estate appraisal license or certification are permitted to prepare appraisals or appraisal reports for a fee or other compensation within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, with an exception noted for subdivision B. This change is intended to ensure that all real estate appraisals are conducted by qualified and licensed professionals, thereby providing consumers with greater protection and confidence in the valuation of their properties. The act is scheduled to take effect on March 1, 2017.
