MS HB1187

Effective July 1, 2023, separates the Mississippi Real Estate Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board from the Mississippi Real Estate Commission to operate as an independent board renamed the Mississippi Real Estate Appraisal Board.

Changes board membership from six members to five members appointed by the Governor, with four from congressional districts as they existed on July 1, 2004, and one from the state-at-large.

Requires only the last four digits of an applicant's social security number on license applications instead of the full number.

Removes the provision allowing appraisal management companies to remove appraisers from their panel within the first 90 days after being added.

Extends the repeal date of the Appraisal Management Company Registration Act from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027.
