The PLA and the Board may provide a formal determination/interpretation based on the practitioner's factual situations/circumstances. Licensed practitioners may submit a "Request for Practice Ruling" through the web-based form provided on the PLA's "Request for Practice Ruling" web page. Additional information and instructions for submitting a "Request for Practice Ruling " are provided on the web page.

  All requests will be reviewed by the PLA's legal team, and PLA's legal team will draft a ruling for the Board's consideration and potential adoption. All rulings adopted by the Board will be posted to the Indiana Register as well as the comprehensive list provided on the the PLA's "Request for Practice Ruling" web page.

• Supervising Appraiser Course - Trainee/Supervisor

  Trainee

  After May 16, 2012, any supervisor who is associated with a trainee appraiser must complete a Board-approved supervising appraiser course.

  My supervisor was already associated with me. Does he or she have to take this course?

  Yes. All supervisors must complete the supervising appraiser course. This includes appraisers already associated with a trainee when the rule went into effect on May 16, 2012. These supervising appraisers may continue to act as a supervisor, but must complete the course by June 30, 2013.

  I am a new trainee applicant. Does my supervisor have to take the course before supervising me?

  Not necessarily. Any supervisors who start an association with a trainee after May 16, 2012, will have six (6) months from the beginning of the association to complete the course.

  What happens if my supervisor doesn't complete this course?

  If a supervising appraiser fails to complete the course in the required time (see second question above) the supervisor will be removed as the trainee's supervisor, and your trainee license will be place in Inactive status. You will not be able to act as a trainee appraiser until you have then associated with another supervisor.

  Supervisor

  After May 16, 2012, any supervisor is associated with a trainee appraiser must complete a Board-approved supervising appraiser course.

  I am currently a supervisor for a trainee. Do I have to take this course?

  Yes. All supervisors must complete the supervising appraiser course. This includes new supervisors, and those appraisers already associated with a trainee when the rule went into effect on May 16, 2012.

  Do I have to take the course before I can supervise?

  Not necessarily. For any supervising appraiser already associated with a trainee on May 16, 2012, you have until June 30, 2013 to complete the course. For any supervisors who start an association with a trainee after this date, you will have six (6) months from the beginning of the association to complete the course.

  Does this course count towards my continuing education?

  Yes. This course will count towards the supervisor's continuing education requirements for license or certificate renewal.

  What happens if I don't complete this course?

  If a supervising appraiser fails to complete the course in the required time (see second question above) the supervisor will be removed as the trainee's supervisor, and the trainee's license will be place in Inactive status.

  Do I have to take the course again?

  Once a supervisor has completed the supervising appraiser course, it will satisfy this requirement for any trainees that appraiser supervises until the end of the third two (2) year renewal period after the last time the course was completed. For example, a supervising appraiser completes the course in August of 2012. This course will satisfy the requirement until June 30, 2018.
