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 at least twenty-five years of licensure in South Carolina, and are sixty-five years of age or older, 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 typically mandated for license holders. This change aims to provide a pathway for seasoned auctioneers to maintain their licensure without the burden of additional educational requirements, thereby recognizing their extensive experience in the field. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
