543D.5  Powers of the board.
  1.  The board shall adopt rules establishing uniform appraisal standards and appraiser certification requirements and other rules necessary to administer and enforce this chapter and its responsibilities under chapter 272C. The board shall consider and may incorporate any standards recommended by the appraisal foundation, or by a professional appraisal organization, or by a public authority or organization responsible to review appraisals or for the oversight of appraisers.
  2.  The uniform appraisal standards shall meet all of the following requirements:
  a.  Require compliance with federal law and appraisal standards adopted by federal authorities as they apply to federally covered transactions. This paragraph does not require that an appraiser invoke a jurisdictional exception to the uniform standards of professional appraisal practice in order to comply with federal law and appraisal standards adopted by federal authorities as they apply to federally covered transactions, unless federal law requires that the exception be invoked.
  b.  Develop standards for the scope of practice for certified real estate appraisers.
  3.  Appraiser certification requirements shall require a demonstration that the applicant has a working knowledge of current appraisal theories, practices, and techniques which will provide a high degree of service and protection to members of the public dealt with in a professional relationship under authority of the certification. The board shall establish the examination specifications for each category of certified real estate appraiser, provide or procure appropriate examinations, establish procedures for grading examinations, receive and approve or disapprove applications for certification, and issue certificates.
  4.  The board shall maintain a registry of the names and addresses of appraisers certified under this chapter and retain records and application materials submitted to the board.
