Article 4.--COUNTY APPRAISER

     
19-432.   Same; list of persons eligible for appointment;
qualifications; training courses; continuing education required to retain
certified status.

The director of property valuation shall maintain a current list of
persons eligible to be appointed to the office of appraiser. Periodic
issuance of this list shall constitute the official list of
eligible Kansas appraisers who are candidates for appointment. Inclusion on
this
list shall be made dependent upon successful completion of a written
examination as adopted and administered by the director.

     
The director of property valuation shall be required to conduct training
courses annually for the purpose of training appraisal candidates. These
courses shall be designed to prepare students to successfully complete the
written examinations required for eligible Kansas appraiser status.

     
Once certified, an eligible Kansas appraiser may
retain that status only
through successful completion of additional appraisal courses at intervals
as determined by the director of property valuation. The director shall be
required to conduct training courses annually for the purpose of providing
the additional curriculum required for retention of Kansas
appraiser status. The director may accept recognized appraisal courses as
an alternative to courses conducted by the director's office to fulfill this
requirement for the maintenance of eligible Kansas appraiser status.
