An Act To Increase The Fee Cap For The Board Of Licensing Of Auctioneers

This bill increases the maximum fee that can be charged for auctioneer licensing from $200 to $300 per license. It directly affects licensed auctioneers in Maine who pay these fees to maintain their professional credentials. The key provision amends Section 287-A of the law to adjust the fee cap, allowing the Board of Licensing of Auctioneers to collect higher fees to support its operations. The change is a straightforward adjustment to the existing fee structure without altering other licensing requirements. The amendment reduces the proposed increase from $400 (in the original bill) to $300.
