HB202 authorizes the Alabama Real Estate Appraisers Board to consult with state and federal law enforcement to verify an applicant's criminal history as part of licensure.
The bill amends Section 34-27A-7 to allow the Alabama Real Estate Appraisers Board to work with the Alabama Bureau of Investigation and the FBI to obtain an applicant's criminal history. Applicants for original license, renewal license, and examinations must provide information for a criminal history background check, including two sets of fingerprints and a Social Security number. Applicants must cover the costs of the background checks. The board must keep the background-check information confidential, except that it may be disclosed to support denial of a license.
