(a) The Board shall issue a permanent
				  certificate to any person employed to perform the duties of an appraiser for
				  property tax purposes in the service of the state, a county, a city and county,
				  or an appraisal commission who, within one year of employment, attains a
				  passing grade on a certification examination prepared or approved by the Board
				  and who meets the following minimum qualifications:
(1) The person is currently employed by, or
				  has a bona fide employment offer from, the Board, a county assessor, a city and
				  county assessor, or an appraisal commission, and
(2) Either the person is a graduate of an
				  accredited four-year institution of higher education, or
(3) The person has graduated from high school
				  (or has the equivalent of a high school education as determined by the taking
				  of a general educational development test approved by the California Department
				  of Education) and has four years of relevant experience. "Relevant experience"
				  means employment experience within the last ten years in any of the following
				  occupations:
(A) an accountant, auditor, real
				  property appraiser, building cost estimator, engineer, real estate loan agent,
				  real estate loan underwriter, right-of-way agent, licensed building contractor,
				  or
(B) a real estate licensee,
				  licensed by the California Department of Real Estate, engaged in buying,
				  selling, leasing, or managing real estate, or
(C) an appraiser aide or appraiser trainee in
				  an assessor's office or in the Board's Property Tax Department, or
(D) an employee, other than an appraiser,
				  appraiser aide, or appraiser trainee, of an assessor's office or of the Board's
				  Property Tax Department, except that such employment time shall be limited to
				  qualifying for only 
				  2/3 of the
				  four-year experience requirement. The remaining 1/3 of time shall be
				  accumulated by other relevant experience as described in subparagraphs (A),
				  (B), and (C) above or by education in an accredited institution of higher
				  education.
Four years of relevant experience or any combination of
					 relevant experience and of education in an accredited institution of higher
					 education totaling four years can be substituted for the educational
					 requirement in subsection (a)(2). When fewer than four years of education in an
					 accredited institution of higher education are used to meet the minimal
					 qualifications, the number of qualifying years or fractions thereof shall be
					 determined by the number of units in which passing grades were received. One
					 year of education requirement shall consist of either 30 semester units or 45
					 quarter units. The qualifications of the person seeking permanent certification
					 in this manner shall be submitted on a form supplied by the Board when the
					 person files the application.
