Notice of Correction

An error was made in an OREA News item that appeared in the Fall/Winter 1999 edition of The California Appraiser concerning temporary practice permits and reciprocity. The organization that actually proposed national standard forms for Temporary Practice Permits and Consent to Service of Process was the Association of Appraiser Regulatory Officials. The article should read as follows:

OREA has recently completed a set of changes to its regulations regarding temporary practice permits and reciprocity. These changes will allow standard forms currently being proposed by the Association of Appraiser Regulatory Officials to be used by applicants who are not residents of California and who are applying for temporary practice permits to work in California, allow standard Consent to Service of Process forms currently being proposed by the Association of Appraiser Regulatory Officials to be used by applicants who are not residents of California and who are applying for licenses or temporary practices to work in California, and will allow OREA to enter into reciprocal agreements with other states so that it will be able to issue licenses without additional testing of real estate appraisers who hold licenses in other states. The changes to OREA's regulations have an effective date of December 2, 1999. Changes to our regulations are available on OREA's website. Please refer to Sections 3525, 3526 and 3569.
