2019: Schweikert Voted For Allowing Licensed Appraisers To Conduct Home Appraisals For Mortgage Backed By The Federal Housing Administration. In September 2019, Schweikert voted for a bill that would, according to Congressional Quarterly, "authorize state-licensed appraisers to conduct appraisals for single-family homes purchased by Federal Housing Administration-insured mortgages. (Under current law, such appraisers must be state-certified.) It would require state-licensed appraisers for single-family housing mortgages to complete a course consisting of at least 7 hours of training related to FHA appraisal requirements. It would require HUD to issue guidance to mortgage lenders outlining how to implement these provisions." The vote was on a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill. The House agreed to the motion and passed the bill by a vote of 419-5. The bill was never taken up in the Senate.
