immediately upon filing with the Texas Register, or on a stated date less than 
20 days after filing, for no more than 120 days. The emergency action is

TITLE 22. EXAMINING BOARDS
Part VIII. Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board
Chapter 153. Provisions of the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act
22 TAC sec.153.15
The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board adopts on an emergency 
basis an amendment to sec.153.15, concerning experience required for 
certification or licensing, which was adopted on an emergency basis in the 
September 13, 1991, issue of the Texas Register (16 TexReg 5017). This section 
helps implement the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act (the Act), 
Texas Civil Statutes, Article 6573a.2. The board found that the adoption of 
emergency rules are necessary because of an imminent peril to the public 
welfare.
Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 
1989 (FIRREA) requires the use of state certified or licensed real estate 
appraisers in connection with federally related transactions performed after 
December 31, 1991. It is necessary to adopt these rules in order to license and 
certify appraisers before December 31, 1991.
The amendment is adopted on an emergency basis under the Act, Texas Civil 
Statutes, Article 6573a.2, which provides the Texas Appraiser Licensing and 
Certification Board with the authority to adopt rules and regulations necessary 
for the performance of its duties. The Act, sec.26, provides for emergency 
adoption of rules.
