45:14F-31 Determination as to whether an AMC oversees an appraiser panel.
5. For purposes of determining whether, within the 12-month period defined by the State, an AMC oversees an appraiser panel of more than 15 state-certified or state-licensed appraisers in New Jersey or 25 or more state-certified or state-licensed appraisers in two or more states, pursuant to the definition of "AMC" as defined in section 3 of this act:
a. An appraiser is deemed part of the AMC's appraiser panel as of the earliest date on which the AMC:
(1) accepts the appraiser for the AMC's consideration for future appraisal assignments in covered transactions or for secondary mortgage market participants in connection with covered transactions; or
(2) engages the appraiser to perform one or more appraisals on behalf of a creditor for covered transactions or secondary mortgage market participant in connection with covered transactions.
b. An appraiser who is deemed part of the AMC's appraiser panel pursuant to subsection a. of this section is deemed to remain on the panel until the date on which the AMC:
(1) sends written notice to the appraiser removing the appraiser from the appraiser panel, with an explanation of its action; or
(2) receives written notice from the appraiser asking to be removed from the appraiser panel or notice of the death or incapacity of the appraiser.
c. If an appraiser is removed from an AMC's appraiser panel pursuant to subsection b. of this section, but the AMC subsequently accepts the appraiser for consideration for future assignments or engages the appraiser at any time during the 12 months after the appraiser's removal, the removal will be deemed not to have occurred, and the appraiser will be deemed to have been part of the AMC's appraiser panel without interruption.
d. Prior to assigning appraisal orders, an appraisal management company shall have a system in place to verify that a person being added to the appraiser panel holds the appropriate appraiser credential in good standing.
