(b) The controlling person designated pursuant to subsection (a) shall:

(1) Remain in good standing with any appraiser-credentialing jurisdictions from which the controlling person has obtained credentials, except that no provision in this section shall require that a designated controlling person hold an appraiser credential in any jurisdiction; or

(2) have never had a credential issued by any appraiser-credentialing jurisdiction to act as an appraiser that:

(A) Was refused, denied, suspended, revoked, or surrendered or nonrenewed in lieu of a pending disciplinary proceeding, and:

(B) (i) Not had such credential subsequently reinstated or granted; or

(ii) is not otherwise in good standing in any jurisdiction.

(c) As a part of an application for an original registration and if required by the board for a renewal registration, the board shall require the controlling person to be fingerprinted and submit to a state and national criminal history record check. The fingerprints shall be used to identify the person and to determine whether the controlling person has a record of criminal history in this state or other jurisdiction. The board shall require the controlling person to submit the fingerprints to the Kansas bureau of investigation and the federal bureau of investigation for a state and national criminal history record check. The board shall use the information obtained from the fingerprinting and the criminal history for purposes of verifying the identification of the controlling person and in the official determination of the qualifications and fitness of the applicant to be issued, maintain or renew a registration.

(d) Local and state law enforcement officers and agencies shall assist the board in taking and processing fingerprints of applicants for any license and shall release all records of adult convictions to the board.

(e) The board may fix and collect a fee in an amount necessary to reimburse the board for the cost of fingerprinting and the criminal history record check. Such fee shall be established by rules and regulations. Any moneys collected under this subsection shall be deposited in the state treasury and credited to the real estate appraisal board's appraiser fee fund established pursuant to K.S.A. 58-4107, and amendments thereto.
