§ 3319a. Appraiser trainee registration

(a) A person who has completed a course of instruction as defined pursuant to rule adopted under subdivision 3315(b)(1) of this title may work as a state licensed, certified residential, or certified general appraiser trainee provided the person is registered with the board. An appraiser trainee shall work under the direct supervision of an appraiser who holds either a certified residential or a certified general license in good standing and has held the certified residential or certified general license for at least two years. An appraiser trainee may perform activities within the scope of practice of the license sought provided that the supervising appraiser reviews and signs all resulting appraisals. The supervising appraiser shall be professionally responsible for such activities performed by the trainee. For the purposes of this section, "good standing" means that the appraiser supervisor holds a current, unrestricted license. An appraiser who holds a restricted license may petition the board for permission to be a supervising appraiser, which may be granted by the board for good cause shown.

(b) To be credited toward the hourly experience requirement for licensure, the trainee shall inspect each property appraised with the trainee's supervisor.

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, the board may, in its discretion, give credit for training hours, not exceeding 10 percent of the total hourly experience requirement, for hours worked or training given that does not include or is unrelated to a site inspection.
