Iowa Admin. Code r. 193F-9.3

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 8, October 30, 2024

Rule 193F-9.3 - [Effective until 5/22/2024] Renewal procedures

(1)Date of filing. Certified and associate appraisers shall file a timely and sufficient renewal application with the board by the June 30 deadline in the biennial renewal year. An application shall be deemed filed on the date received by the board, the date of electronic submission or, if mailed, the date postmarked, but not the date metered. Applications to renew that are not timely received by the board shall be treated as applications to reinstate, as provided in rule 193F-9.4 (272C,543D).

(2)Continuing education. An applicant for renewal shall report the applicant's compliance with the continuing education requirements provided in 193F-Chapter 11. Full compliance with applicable continuing education requirements is a condition of renewal in active status. Applications to renew certificates or registrations in active status that do not, on their face, demonstrate full compliance with all applicable continuing education requirements shall be rejected as insufficient, as provided in subrule 9.3(4).

(3)Background disclosures. An applicant for renewal shall disclose such background and character information as the board requests, which may include disciplinary action taken by any jurisdiction regarding a professional license of any type, the denial of an application for a professional license of any type by any jurisdiction, and the conviction of any crime.

(4)Insufficient applications. The board shall reject applications that are insufficient. A sufficient application within the meaning of Iowa Code section 17A.18(2) must:

a. Be on a form prescribed by the board or, in the event there are no paper forms, be submitted through the state's database;

b. Be signed by the applicant, be certified as accurate, or display an electronic signature by the applicant if submitted electronically;

c. Be fully completed;

d. Reflect, on its face, full compliance with all applicable continuing education requirements; and

e. Be accompanied by the proper fee. The fee shall be deemed improper if, for instance, the amount is incorrect, the fee was not included with the application, the credit card number provided by the applicant is incorrect, the date of expiration of a credit card is omitted or incorrect, the attempted credit card transaction is rejected, or the applicant's check is returned for insufficient funds or written on a closed account.

(5)Resubmission of rejected applications. The board shall promptly notify an applicant of the basis for rejecting an insufficient renewal application. In the event the renewal application is not resubmitted, with the deficiencies corrected, the board may return any fees received. Applicants for certificate or registration renewal may remedy the insufficiency and resubmit applications that were rejected as insufficient. Resubmitted applications shall be deemed received when personally delivered to the board office, on the date of electronic submission or, if mailed, the date postmarked, but not the date metered. Resubmitted applications to renew that are not timely received by the board shall be treated as applications to reinstate, as provided in rule 193F-9.4 (272C,543D).

(6)Administrative processing not determinative. The administrative processing of an application to renew a certificate or registration shall not prevent the board from subsequently commencing a contested case to challenge the applicant's qualifications for continued licensure or to assert disciplinary charges if grounds exist to do so. The board may take such an action, for example, if an application to renew reflects full compliance with continuing education, but the licensee is unable to document compliance in a subsequent audit.

(7)Denial of timely and sufficient application to renew. If grounds exist to deny a timely and sufficient application to renew, the board shall send written notification to the applicant stating the grounds for denial. The procedures described in rule 193F-20.40 (546,543D,272C) shall apply.
