Current through July 10, 2024
(a) In order for an
				individual to be recertified in accordance with Section
				12-2b-11
				of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, he shall present evidence to
				the Secretary of having completed at least fifty hours of one or more property
				assessment or appraisal courses or workshops. Such course or workshop hours
				shall have been completed during the five-year period prior to the date on
				which the person's certification expires. Any such course or workshop shall be
				subject to approval by the Secretary. The Secretary shall approve a course or
				workshop sponsored by a nationally or state recognized appraisal or assessment
				organization, and may approve other such courses or workshops at the request of
				the individual seeking recertification, in accordance with the procedure set
				forth in subsection (b) of this section. With respect to an individual enrolled
				in such a course or workshop, credit shall be granted for each hour of actual
				attendance. An instructor of such a course or workshop, or a person presenting
				instruction in conjunction with such course or workshop, shall receive credit
				for each hour of instruction actually provided. If an individual enrolls in or
				provides instruction for the same course or workshop more than once during said
				five-year period, credit shall be granted only for the first course or workshop
				attended or taught.
(b) A request
				may be made to the Secretary for approval of a course or workshop that is not
				sponsored by a nationally or state recognized property appraisal or assessment
				organization. Such request shall be in writing and shall be accompanied by such
				documentation as the Secretary may require on a form prescribed for that
				purpose by said Secretary. The Secretary shall promptly consider the
				applicant's request and shall send written notice of his decision regarding the
				approval or denial of such course or workshop within two weeks of the date on
				which his decision is made. In the event the Secretary denies an applicant's
				request for approval, the notice containing the Secretary's decision shall
				include information as to how the applicant may request a reconsideration of
				said denial.
(c) A request for
				reconsideration of the Secretary's denial of a course or workshop shall be
				submitted to the Secretary in writing. Any such request, which shall include
				the reason why the appellant believes such course or workshop should be
				approved for credit purposes, shall be sent within ten business days of the
				date of the Secretary's notice of denial. Such request shall not be regarded as
				having been properly filed unless the documentation required by the Secretary
				is submitted with the request for reconsideration. A request for
				reconsideration that is not properly filed shall be denied by the Secretary. A
				person having properly filed a request for reconsideration may be required to
				appear before the Secretary to answer any pertinent questions or to supply any
				additional information that the Secretary deems necessary, provided such person
				is given not less than one week's notice of the requirement to
				appear.
(d) The Secretary shall
				reconsider his decision to deny approval of a course or workshop not later than
				thirty days following the receipt of a properly filed request for
				reconsideration. The applicant shall be sent written notice of the Secretary's
				decision regarding his reconsideration of such course or workshop. Such
				decision shall be final.
