BILL NUMBER:S597A            REVISED 04/20/12

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the executive law, in relation to prohibiting sex offenders
from being entitled to licenses as state certified and licensed real
estate appraisers

PURPOSE:
To include the conviction of a sex offense or sexually violent offense
as disabilities to licensure as a state certified real estate
appraiser and to require the reporting of conviction of a sex offense
or sexually violent offense by real estate licensees.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends section 160-p of the executive law to include the
conviction of a sex offense or sexually violent offense as a
disability to licensure as a real estate appraiser. This section also
requires that a real estate appraiser notify and provide a certified
copy of the judgment of conviction to the Department of State within
5 days after the imposition of sentence for a conviction of a sex
offense or a sexually violent crime.

JUSTIFICATION:
The intent of this legislation is to build upon the private and public
recognition that New Yorkers could be vulnerable to violent crime
within the framework and common practices involving real estate
transactions that began with the enactment of Chapter .430 of2008,
which prohibited sex offenders from becoming licensed real estate
brokers or salesman. Currently convicted sex offenders are not faced
with this automatic disability to licensure as a real estate appraiser.

Sex offenders on any level represent a persistent threat to the
public. This bill would remove this threat by prohibiting convicted
sex offenders from becoming a state certified real estate appraiser
and to require the reporting of conviction of a sex offense or
sexually violent offense by real estate licensees.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2011:    Passed Senate (S.597A/A.7017)
2009/10: Referred to Finance(S.25)
2008:    3rd Reading (S.7894/A.10962)

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
