Any person who files with the commission an application for state licensure or certification as a real estate appraiser shall be required to pass an examination to demonstrate his or her competence. The commission shall, also, make such investigation as is required to verify such qualifications. If the results of the investigation are satisfactory to the commission and the applicant is otherwise qualified, then the commission shall issue to the applicant a license or certificate authorizing the applicant to act as a state-licensed real estate appraiser or a state-certified real estate appraiser in Missouri. If the results of the investigation are unsatisfactory, action on the application may be deferred pending a hearing before the real estate appraisal commission.2. The commission shall promulgate and adopt regulations which prescribe and define the subjects related to real estate appraisal and the experience in real estate appraisal that will satisfy the qualification requirements for licensure or certification. The commission may approve courses of instruction in an accredited college or university relating to the appraisal of real estate and related disciplines including, but not limited to, economics, finance, statistics, principles of capitalization, real estate and such other areas deemed relevant by the commission. The commission may also approve similar courses of instruction offered by recognized professional appraisal organizations and real estate organizations and agencies of the state and federal government, and other qualified providers which may be approved by the commission. The commission may require by rule that some or all of an applicant's qualifying experience in real estate appraising be obtained on appraisals of real estate located in this state.3. Each applicant for certification or licensure, except for appraisal management companies, shall furnish under oath a detailed statement of the real estate appraisal assignments or file memoranda for each year in which real estate appraisal experience is claimed by the applicant.

Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2003, shall be invalid and void.L. 1990 H.B. 1456 § 10, A.L. 1990 H.B. 1788 § 10, A.L. 1993 S.B. 18, A.L. 1998 H.B. 1601, et al., A.L. 2003S.B. 327 , A.L. 2012H.B. 1103 .
