The bill S. 606 proposes an amendment to Section 40-6-240 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically concerning auctioneer licenses. It allows individuals with an expired auctioneer license, who were in good standing at the time of expiration, have held their license for twenty-five years or more, and are at least sixty-five years old, to apply for a renewal of their expired license. The amendment stipulates that these applicants must pay the renewal fee as required by law.

Additionally, upon renewal, these individuals will be exempt from the continuing education requirements that are typically mandated for license renewal. This change aims to provide a pathway for long-standing auctioneers who may have let their licenses lapse due to age or other factors to re-enter the profession without the burden of additional educational requirements. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
