CHARLESTON (AP) — The West Virginia Legislature will
consider a bill requiring appraisal management companies to register
with a state board.
The companies are meant to serve as a buffer
between banks and appraisers. A legislative legal counsel says when
mortgage lending banks deal directly with appraisers, there's an
incentive for appraisers to over-value properties so that banks can
issue larger mortgages.
The 2012 federal Dodd-Frank financial reform law requires regulation of appraisal management companies.
The
proposed bill would require appraisal management companies to be
independent, to meet minimum standards and to post a bond with that
would reimburse potential consumer complaints. Ownership and management
would have to submit to criminal background checks.
A rough draft of the bill was presented to legislators during interim sessions on Tuesday.
