The Georgia
Auctioneers Commission consists of six members who are
appointed by the Governor. Five of the members are licensed
auctioneers and one member is a consumer member with no connection
to the practice or profession of auctioneering. The Commission
meets at least 8 times a year at the Secretary of State’s office
in Macon and meetings are open to the public. Persons wishing to
bring matters for the Commission’s consideration should submit
written notification or request to the office.
The
Commission has the authority to regulate the issuance of licenses,
to revoke or suspend licenses issued and to censure licenses for
any violation of the law. Any person desiring to act as an
auctioneer and/or operate an auction company must first meet the
requirements of the law and rules and be licensed with the
Commission.
The
Commission has issued approximately 802 Auctioneer licenses for
residents of Georgia and 279 non-resident auctioneer licenses for
licensed auctioneers who reside in another state and who may
practice as an auctioneer in Georgia. The Commission also has 114
licensed auction companies.
The
law provides for a full time inspector with full inspection rights
and privileges regarding all auctions conducted in the state.
