FISCAL IMPACT (Thousands of dollars): No significant impacts on state or local revenue sources would result from enactment of the proposed measure.

ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACT: The proposed measure would impose no significant administrative impacts on the Department or local governments.

OTHER IMPACTS AND ISSUES:
The Appraisal Foundation is a well-established and respected institution. There is no particular reason why the Department should not work with the Foundation, as well as the IAOO, in certifying appraisers.
