Who does the Commission's jurisdiction extend to?

The Commission's jurisdiction extends to current and former licensees, including those with lapsed licenses. This broader scope ensures that the Commission maintains oversight and authority over all individuals who have been involved in the auctioneering profession, regardless of their current licensing status.

This is important for several reasons. First, it helps protect the public by ensuring that all individuals who have engaged in auctioneering activities are held to the same standards of conduct and ethics, even if they are no longer actively licensed. Furthermore, this jurisdiction can address any violations or complaints that may arise from past activities, thereby promoting accountability within the profession.

Regularly monitoring and regulating both current and former licensees allows the Commission to uphold the integrity of the auctioneering industry as a whole, ensuring that all practitioners adhere to the established laws and regulations.
