 Introduced by Sen. CLEARE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to requiring four hours
 of training for real estate appraisers on implicit bias awareness and

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 160-t of the executive law, as

 5 or renewal of license shall be the completion by the applicant, during
 6 the immediately preceding term of certification or license, of not less

 8 which have received the approval of the department. Of such twenty-eight
 9 required classroom hours, at least four hours of instruction shall
 10 pertain to implicit bias awareness and understanding. For purposes of
 11 this paragraph, "implicit bias" shall mean the attitudes or stereotypes
 12 that affect an individual's understanding, actions and decisions in an
 13 unconscious manner.
 14 b. Computer based and distance learning courses may be approved by the
 15 department so long as providers demonstrate the ability to monitor and
 16 verify participation by the real estate appraiser for the specified time
 17 periods.
 18 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
