Relating to agency changes to auctioneers

SB 759 updates West Virginia's auctioneer licensing and regulatory rules. It raises the required bond amount for auctioneers, shifts fee-setting authority to legislative rule (replacing board discretion), and removes the board's ability to use applicant records for screening. The bill extends the period an apprentice auctioneer may work after license expiration, clarifies complaint investigation procedures, and directs civil penalties to the Department of Agriculture. These changes directly affect licensed auctioneers, auction firms, and the regulatory board overseeing the profession.
