A. As a prerequisite to renewal of certification, a trainee, state licensed, state certified residential or state certified general real estate appraiser shall present evidence satisfactory to the Real Estate Appraiser Board of having met the continuing education requirements of this section.

B. The basic continuing education requirement of renewal of certification shall be the completion by the applicant, during the immediately preceding term of certification, of the minimum number of classroom hours of instruction in courses or seminars according to the guidelines promulgated by the Appraiser Qualifications Board.

C. The Board shall adopt regulations for implementation of the provisions of this section assuring that persons renewing their certifications as trainee, state licensed, state certified residential or state certified general real estate appraisers have current knowledge of real property appraisal theories, practices, and techniques which will provide a high degree of service and protection to those members of the public with whom they deal in a professional relationship under authority of the certification. The regulations shall prescribe the following:

1. Policies and procedures for obtaining Board approval of courses of instruction pursuant to subsection B of this section; and

2. Standards, monitoring methods, and systems for recording attendance to be employed by course sponsors as a prerequisite to Board approval of courses for credit.

D. No amendment or repeal of a regulation adopted by the Board pursuant to this section shall operate to deprive a trainee, state licensed, state certified residential or state certified general real estate appraiser of credit toward renewal of certification for any course of instruction completed by the applicant prior to the amendment or repeal of the regulation which would have qualified for continuing education credit under the regulation as it existed prior to the repeal or amendment.

E. Commencing thirty (30) days after the effective date of this act, a certification as a trainee, state licensed, state certified residential or state certified general real estate appraiser that has been revoked as a result of disciplinary action by the Board shall not be reinstated unless the applicant presents evidence of completion of the continuing education required pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Real Estate Appraisers Act. This requirement of evidence of continuing education shall not be imposed upon an applicant for reinstatement who has been required to successfully complete the examination for trainee, state licensed, state certified residential or state certified general real estate appraiser as a condition to reinstatement of certification.
