To House Agriculture, Commerce, and Tourism
Summary
The bill rewrites the state's auctioneer statutes, adding clearer definitions, new licensing and bond requirements, and a rule‑making process for fees. It also adjusts exemptions, extends the time apprentices may work after a license expires, and changes how the licensing board uses records, handles complaints, conducts hearings, and pays civil penalties to the Department of Agriculture. These changes impact all licensed auctioneers, apprentice auctioneers, auction firms, and the state board that regulates them.
