Interim study to examine auctioneer licensing and continuing education requirements

This legislative resolution directs the Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee to conduct an interim study on auctioneer licensing and continuing education requirements. The study will examine current rules, review education programs, compare other states' approaches, and consider how online auctions affect competency standards. It will also look at consumer protection issues and determine if changes to laws or regulations are needed to improve education quality while maintaining oversight. The committee will consult with auctioneers, firms, educators, regulators, and consumers before submitting findings and recommendations to the Legislature. This bill does not change any laws directly but initiates research to inform potential future policy adjustments.
