PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The secretary of state has determined that the publication of the entire text of the material which is incorporated by reference as a portion of this rule would be unduly cumbersome or expensive. This material as incorporated by reference in this rule shall be maintained by the agency at its headquarters and shall be made available to the public for inspection and copying at no more than the actual cost of reproduction. This note applies only to the reference material. The entire text of the rule is printed here.
(1) Each licensee who holds a certificate or
license shall complete, during the two- (2-) year license period prior to
renewal, as a condition precedent to certification or license renewal, the
required number of hours of real estate appraisal instruction approved for
continuing education credit by the Missouri Real Estate Appraisers Commission
as specified in section (2) of this rule. Licensees shall maintain their
evidence of course participation or course completion certificates for the
period set for appraisal file retention. Such evidence shall be submitted upon
request by the commission.
(2)
Licensees are required to complete twenty-eight (28) hours of continuing
education during the two- (2-) year renewal cycle. The commission may require
specific courses of continuing education. A licensee shall provide verification
of completion of continuing education by affidavit at the time of renewal. The
affidavit shall contain a truthful statement of approved courses by the
commission of continuing education taken by the licensee.
(3) Individual licensees may receive
continuing education credit for courses taken in Missouri or another state with
which Missouri has a reciprocal agreement which have not been submitted
previously by the course provider for approval; provided course content,
instructor qualifications, and course administration are acceptable to the
commission. Applications for nonpreapproved course credit must be received by
the commission on or before December 31 in the year preceding license
expiration and must be on a form prescribed by the commission.
(4) The following offerings will not be
considered by the commission to meet Missouri continuing education requirements
even though the offerings may be approved by states with which Missouri enters
into continuing education reciprocity:
(A)
Training or education not directly related to real estate appraisal or real
estate appraisal practice;
(B)
Training or education in office and business skills, such as typing,
speedreading, memory improvement, report writing, personal motivation,
salesmanship, sales psychology, and time management;
(C) Sales promotions or other meetings held
in conjunction with general real estate brokerage activity;
(D) Meetings which are a normal part of
in-house training;
(E) That portion
of any offering devoted to meals or refreshments;
(F) Sales or brokerage prelicensure
education; and
(G) Any course or
program that is less than two (2) hours in duration.
(5) Hours obtained in excess of the
requirement for continuing education shall not be carried forward to satisfy
the requirements for any subsequent renewal period.
(6) A licensee shall be physically present in
the classroom during at least ninety percent (90%) of the actual classroom
instruction.
(7) Credit will be
given to a licensee for attending a specific or substantially similar course
offering only once during a certificate or license renewal period.
(8) Time spent as an instructor may be
counted as classroom attendance for an approved instructor who is also a
licensee. This credit may be gained by an instructor only once for each course
or substantially similar course offered during any renewal period. Continuing
education credit may also be granted for participation, other than as a
student, in appraisal educational processes and programs. Examples of
activities for which credit may be granted are teaching, program development,
authorship of textbooks, or similar activities which are determined to be
equivalent to obtaining continuing education. The number of credit hours
granted will be equivalent to the number of hours allowed by the current
Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) criteria.
(9) Passing an examination shall not be
required for credit under this chapter even when an examination is required by
the provider of the course. Time devoted to examinations, other than brief
periods for review and self-graded quizzes, may not be credited toward the
required minimum hours of continuing education.
(10) No part of any course for continuing
education shall be used to solicit memberships in organizations, recruit
licensees for affiliation with any organization, or advertise the merits of any
organization.
(11) All licensees of
the state of Missouri shall complete, for continuing education credit, the
seven- (7-) hour national Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice (USPAP) update course or its equivalent during each renewal
cycle. The USPAP, 2020 Edition, is incorporated herein by reference and can be
obtained from The Appraisal Foundation, 1155 15th Street NW, Suite 1111,
Washington, DC 20005, by calling (202) 347-7722, or at
www.appraisalfoundation.org.
This rule does not incorporate any subsequent amendments or additions to the
USPAP.
