Draft PDS-01 of proposed Addendum 31f: Rescind the requirement for certified raters to complete the practical simulation test

Proposed Addendum 31f establishes the permanent amendment implemented by interim Addendum 31i. The Addendum amends the MINHERS® Chapter 2 to implement the RESNET Board of Directors Executive Committee directive that removes the online RESNET Rater Simulation Practical Test requirement for existing certified RESNET HERS® Raters. The directive states: “…beginning today, existing certified HERS® Raters (those certified prior to July 1, 2016) are no longer required to pass the Practical Simulation Test.  HERS® Raters who have already passed the Practical Simulation Test will be credited 18 hours of professional development credits which is required every three years for recertification.”
