Defines "broker price opinion" and "comparative market analysis". Provides that the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation may refuse to issue or renew a license, may place on probation, suspend, or revoke any license, reprimand, or take any other disciplinary or non-disciplinary action as the Department may deem proper and impose a fine not to exceed $25,000 upon any licensee or applicant under the Act or any person who holds himself or herself out as an applicant or licensee or against a licensee in handling his or her own property, whether held by deed, option, or otherwise, for providing a broker price opinion or comparative market analysis in a manner that is not consistent with the provisions of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice that apply to broker price opinions and comparative market analyses, as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board and by rule.
