Created in 1990, the Arizona Board of Appraisal regulates real estate appraisal in Arizona by licensing and certifying appraisers, registering appraisal management companies (AMCs) and property tax agents, investigating complaints, and issuing discipline for violations of board statutes and rules. The Board’s complaint resolution process has several weaknesses that contribute to potentially untimely and/or inappropriate complaint resolution, such as insufficient documentation regarding some board decisions, delays in assigning complaints for contract investigations, and inadequate monitoring of complaints to ensure timely resolution. Although the Board has taken steps to improve its process, it should develop and implement policies and procedures to address these weaknesses. The Board should also comply with statutory requirements for registering AMCs and develop and implement policies and procedures for providing timely and complete complaint and disciplinary information to the public.

A letter detailing the changes to laws concerning Chinese settlers and their legal rights as workers in Cuba. Settlers were not allowed to go more than two or three months without being under contract with an employer; otherwise they were considered vagrants. Once a contract has expired, the Chinese settler is considered to be liberated from the legal bounds of that contract and is free to enter into another with the same employer or another. The governor replied to the letter and formally adopted these laws into the legal code.
