LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1018, as introduced, Frazier. Real estate appraisers.

Existing law, the Real Estate Appraisers’ Licensing and Certification Law, establishes the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers for the licensure, regulation, and discipline of real estate appraisers. Existing law prohibits a person from engaging in federally related real estate appraisal activity governed by the Real Estate Appraisers’ Licensing and Certification Law or assuming or using the title of or any title designation or abbreviation as a licensed appraiser in the state without an active license. Existing law provides that a person who willfully violates this provision is guilty of a public offense punishable, as specified.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provisions specifying the prohibition and the punishment for a willfull violation of that prohibition.
