2005 Senate Bill 603 ↩

House Roll Call 1170: Passed

To impose registration (licensure) and regulation on auctioneers who wish to title themselves as "registered auctioneer" or a similar term implying that the auctioneer has met the standards specified in the bill. Under current law, local governments may license auctioneers, and those selling livestock, motor vehicles, or boats must register with the state. The bill would require registrants to serve a two-year apprenticeship with a registered auctioneer, or one year if the person completes an approved training course. Senate Bill 604 authorizes registration fees.
