(2) If the federal registry fee collected by the board and transmitted to the federal financial institutions examination council is increased prior to expiration of a license or certificate, the board shall collect the amount of the increase in the fee from the holder of the license or certificate and forward the amount to the council annually. The federal registry fee does not apply to licensed ad valorem appraisers licensed under this article 10. (3) (a) If the applicant has complied with this section and any applicable rules of the board regarding renewal, except for the continuing education requirements pursuant to section 12-10-606, the licensee may renew the license on inactive status. An inactive license may be activated if the licensee submits written certification of compliance with the required number of continuing education hours as determined by the Appraiser Qualifications Board of the Appraisal Foundation or its successor organization. The board may adopt rules establishing procedures to facilitate reactivation of licenses. (b) The holder of an inactive license shall not perform a real estate appraisal or appraisal management duties.

Each person submitting a set of fingerprints shall pay the fee established by the Colorado bureau of investigation for conducting the fingerprint-based criminal history record check to the bureau. The bureau shall forward the results to the board. The board shall require a name-based judicial record check, as defined in section 22-2-119.3 (6)(d), for an applicant who has a record of arrest without a disposition. The applicant shall pay the costs associated with a name-based judicial record check. The board may refuse to renew or reinstate a license or certification based on the outcome of the record check. ## Nearby sections - [C.R.S. § 12-10-601 12-10-601.
