Section 316. Orientation

Within one month of commencing a term of office,
  any assessor, whether elected or appointed, who has not  obtained  state
  board  certification  pursuant  to  this  title,  shall attend a one day
  orientation course prescribed  by  the  state  board.  Such  orientation
  course  shall  be  designed  to  provide the prospective assessor with a
  general knowledge of the responsibilities of the assessor and a  general
  understanding  of  the appropriate state and local government structure.
  No assessor shall continue in office or receive compensation  where  the
  state  board determines that he or she has failed to file with the clerk
  of the assessing unit a certificate of  attendance  of  the  orientation
  course.
