Sec. 20-510. Competency of applicant. Examination. In order to determine the
competency of any applicant for a real estate appraiser's certification or license, the
commission shall, and, in the case of an applicant for a provisional license, may subject
such applicant to personal written examination as to the applicant's competency to act
as a real estate appraiser. Such examination shall be prepared by the Department of
Consumer Protection or by a national testing service designated by the Commissioner
of Consumer Protection, shall be administered to applicants by the Department of Consumer Protection or by such testing service at such times and places as the commissioner
may deem necessary and shall be consistent with guidelines established by the Appraisal
Qualification Board of the Appraisal Foundation. The commission may waive the written examination requirement in the case of an applicant who, in the opinion of the
commission, has taken an equivalent written examination in another state and has received a score deemed satisfactory by the commission.
