Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 19, March 20, 2024
(1) An individual who establishes residency
in this state or who is married to an active duty member of the military forces
of the United States and who is accompanying the member on an official
permanent change of station to a military installation located in this state
may apply for licensure under this rule on forms provided by the board. A
certification or registration shall be issued if all of the following
conditions are met:
a. The person is
currently licensed, certified, or registered by at least one other issuing
jurisdiction in the profession or occupation applied for with a substantially
similar scope of practice and is in good standing in all issuing jurisdictions
in which the person holds a license, certificate, or registration. A license,
certificate, or registration issued by another jurisdiction that is classified
as a licensed residential real property credential or with a scope of practice
of a licensed residential real property appraiser, as defined by the AQB
criteria other applicable federal law, rule, or policy, shall not be considered
a profession or occupation with a substantially similar scope of practice as it
relates to a certification or registration as an associate real property
appraiser, certified residential real property appraiser, or a certified
general real property appraiser.
b.
The person has been licensed, certified, or registered by the other issuing
jurisdiction forming the basis of the application.
c. When the person was licensed by the other
issuing jurisdiction forming the basis of the application, the issuing
jurisdiction imposed minimum educational and experience requirements, and the
issuing jurisdiction verifies that the person met those requirements in order
to be licensed in that issuing jurisdiction. Generally, given federal mandates,
the minimum educational and experience requirements to become certified as a
real estate appraiser are substantially the same nationwide within the
applicable classification and scope of practice.
d. The person previously passed an
AQB-approved examination as required by the other issuing jurisdiction for
licensure, certification, or registration.
e. The person has not had a license,
certificate, or registration revoked and has not voluntarily surrendered a
license, certificate, or registration in any other issuing jurisdiction or
country while under investigation for unprofessional conduct.
f. The person has not had discipline imposed
by any other regulating entity in this state or another issuing jurisdiction or
country. If another jurisdiction has taken disciplinary action against the
person, the appropriate licensing board shall determine if the cause for the
action was corrected and the matter resolved. If the licensing board determines
that the matter has not been resolved by the jurisdiction imposing discipline,
the licensing board shall not issue or deny a license, certificate, or
registration to the person until the matter is resolved.
g. The person does not have a complaint,
allegation, or investigation pending before any regulating entity in another
issuing jurisdiction or country that relates to unprofessional conduct. If the
person has any complaints, allegations, or investigations pending, the
appropriate licensing board shall not issue or deny a license, certificate, or
registration to the person until the complaint, allegation, or investigation is
resolved.
h. The person pays all
applicable fees. The fees for applying for licensure under this rule shall be
the same as the fees for reciprocal licensure, including as required by rules
193F-10.1 (543D),
193F-12.1 (543D), and
193F-12.3 (543D).
i. The person does not have a criminal
history that would prevent the person from holding the license, certificate, or
registration applied for in this state.
(2) An individual applying for licensure
under this rule must provide, as applicable, proof of current residency in the
state of Iowa or proof of the military member's official permanent change of
station to the state of Iowa.
a. Proof of
residency may include, by way of example:
(1)
Residential mortgage, lease, or rental agreement;
(2) Utility bill;
(3) Bank statement;
(4) Pay check or pay stub;
(5) Property tax statement;
(6) A federal or state government document;
or
(7) Any other document that
reliably confirms Iowa residency.
b. Proof of permanent change of station to
the state of Iowa includes documentation issued by the appropriate branch of
the military requiring a permanent change of station or otherwise indicating or
demonstrating a permanent change of station has occurred.
(3) In order to be considered a sufficient
application, an application for licensure under this rule must contain or
disclose all of the information referred to or required by subrule 26.4(1) and
be accompanied by all applicable fees, proof or documentation required by
subrule 26.4(2) or otherwise required in the forms provided by the board, and,
if applicable, the submission of fingerprints and an appropriate authorization
of release as may be necessary to facilitate the board's completion of a
criminal history check and any corresponding fee.
(4) The board shall make the determination of
whether to issue a certificate or registration under this rule based on
information supplied by the applicant in the application and on such additional
information as the board may acquire, including information or verification
from other jurisdictions.
(5) A
person issued a certification or registration under this rule shall be subject
to the laws regulating the person's practice in this state, including Iowa Code
chapter 543D, the administrative rules of the board, and the Uniform Standards
of Professional Appraisal Practice, and is subject to the jurisdiction of the
board.
(6) An applicant who is
aggrieved by the board's decision to deny an application for a license under
this rule may request a nondisciplinary license denial contested case hearing
as provided in rule 193F-20.39 (546,543D,272C) and
may participate in the hearing by telephone. A request for a nondisciplinary
license denial contested case hearing shall be made within 30 days of issuance
of the board's decision.
