  • Weekly Session Notes Senate Republican Policy Committee – David G
    WEEKLY SESSION NOTES SENATE REPUBLICAN POLICY COMMITTEE – DAVID G. ARGALL, CHAIRMAN Monday, October 15, 2018 Senate Bill 689 (Eichelberger) would amend the Real Estate Appraisers Certification Act to expand the membership of the State Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers from 11 members to 13 members. In addition to six appraisers, the Secretary of the Commonwealth, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Banking currently serve on the Board. Under the changes in the bill, two of the other four members would have to be “certified Pennsylvania evaluators” and two would have to be public members. In the case of an appointment of a professional member who is both a certified Pennsylvania evaluator and a state-certified real estate appraiser, the appointment would have to specify in which capacity the individual is being appointed. For the initial appointments, the Governor would have 90 days to nominate one certified Pennsylvania evaluator to serve a two-year term and another to serve a four-year term. For purposes of the act, a “certified Pennsylvania evaluator” would be defined as a person who holds a current valid certificate issued under the Assessors Certification Act, while a “professional member” would be defined as a certified Pennsylvania evaluator or a state-certified real estate appraiser. Passed: 49-0. Senate Bill 748 (Argall) would create the Public Safety Facilities Act to establish a clear process for consideration of proposed closures of state correctional institutions and state police stations.
