Regulations committee adopts auctioneer rule changes, including age/experience CE waiver
Summary
The committee approved updates to the auctioneer regulation to remove duplicative statutory language, clarify licensure for out‑of‑state licensees and add an experience/age exemption from continuing education for licensees 65 and older (exemption granted by request). The change was moved and approved at the meeting.
The Regulations Committee approved changes to the state's auctioneer regulations that staff said remove duplication with statute, clarify licensure pathways for already‑licensed out‑of‑state applicants and add an experience/age waiver for continuing education.
Holly Beeson of the state agency (LLR) told the committee the package "reduces some burdens for licensure" and specifically makes clear how an applicant licensed in another state may qualify. She said the package also includes an experience/age waiver so a licensee who has practiced in the state for decades and is 65 or older may request relief from continuing education requirements.
A commission member introduced as "Mister Dixon" explained the exemption is not automatic: a licensee must request it and meet the experience criteria. "It's got to be done by request," he said.
Committee members asked clarifying questions and then moved for adoption. The chair recorded the motion and the committee responded "ayes have it." The transcript does not list roll‑call votes or individual tallies.
Why it matters: the changes are aimed at modernizing licensing rules, reducing duplication with statute and providing flexibility for long‑tenured licensees. The exemption is limited by rule language and requires a request rather than automatic grant.
Next steps: the committee recorded approval to move the regulation forward for implementation.
