			 action which affects their legal eligibility to engage in appraisal practice

			 appraiser.

			 appraiser who is licensed in both the state of Washington and with another
			 state or has a temporary license in another state; and the trainee is
			 registered as a trainee in that other state by either temporary permit,
			 license, or registration, then the appraisal assignments shall qualify as work

			 request and under the provisions of subsection (2) of this section.

			 trainee may assist in the completion of an appraisal report, including
			 determination of an opinion of value and may sign the appraisal report,
			 provided that he/she is actively and personally supervised by a state-certified
			 real estate appraiser, and provided that the appraisal report is reviewed and
			 signed by the state-certified real estate appraiser; and provided the
			 state-certified appraiser accepts total responsibility for the appraisal
			 report.
(h) The certified appraiser
			 shall:
(i) Personally inspect each appraised
			 property with the trainee appraiser, until the supervisory appraiser determines
			 the trainee is competent to inspect the property, in accordance with the
			 Competency Rule of USPAP for the property type.
(ii) Personally review and verify each
			 appraisal report prepared by the trainee as entered on the trainee experience
			 log as qualifying work experience prior to the log being submitted to the
			 department by the supervised trainee. The trainee shall be entitled to obtain
			 copies of the appraisal reports in which the trainee provided appraisal
			 assistance.

			 and verify each appraisal report prepared by a state licensed or certified
			 residential appraiser as entered on the qualifying work experience log prior to
			 the log being submitted to the department by the licensee. The state licensed
			 or certified residential appraiser shall be entitled to obtain copies of the
			 appraisal reports in which the state licensed and certified residential
			 appraiser provided appraisal assistance.

			 separate "properties inspected with trainee" log for each supervised trainee.

			 supervisory appraiser and include the names of the registered real estate
			 appraiser trainees being supervised. Registration must be five business days

			 such notice including the name, address, and registration number of the
			 registered trainee.
