Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 37, § 3396. Applications

D. (1) Licenses shall be granted only to persons who have satisfied the minimum education, examination, and experience requirements mandated by the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) of the Appraisal Foundation and published in the most current version of the Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria, including any subsequent amendments and regulations issued pursuant thereto.

(2) All applicants for a real estate appraiser license shall undergo a background screening as mandated by the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) of the Appraisal Foundation and prescribed by the board.

(4) When an applicant has made a false statement of material fact on his application, such false statement may in itself be sufficient grounds for refusal to issue a license.
