LICENSING: Provides relative to auctioneers
HB 679 is a minor amendment to the state's auctioneer licensing laws that changes a specific phrase in the text. The bill alters the requirement for auctioneers to meet certain standards by replacing the phrase "as defined in" with "as required by." This change affects the Department of Commerce and the individuals licensed as auctioneers by modifying how the law references specific rules or standards. The amendment does not create new regulations or add new duties, but rather adjusts the wording used to describe compliance requirements.
