CA SB1225

Authorizes the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers to remove disciplinary records from its internet website upon petition by a licensee if the record has been posted for at least 10 years and the licensee provides evidence of rehabilitation showing the notice is no longer needed to prevent credible risk to the public.

Prohibits removal of license revocations or voluntary surrenders resulting from pending investigations, regardless of how long the records have been posted.

Allows immediate family members or heirs of deceased licensees to petition for removal of any disciplinary records regarding the deceased licensee for any duration, without the 10-year waiting period.

Requires the bureau to charge a fee with petitions to defray administrative costs and to develop regulations specifying the fee amount and minimum petition information required, including written justification and evidence of rehabilitation.

Mandates the bureau maintain and regularly update a list of licensees whose disciplinary records were altered through approved petitions and share this list with other licensing bodies.
