True or False: You cannot receive an auctioneer's license if, in the previous 10 years, you have pleaded guilty to or been convicted of any felony.

The statement in the question is false because an individual may be eligible to receive an auctioneer's license despite a felony conviction, depending on the specific circumstances of the case. In North Carolina, the auctioneer licensing board considers various factors, including the nature of the felony, the time elapsed since the conviction, the applicant's rehabilitation efforts, and evidence of good moral character following the conviction.

Certain types of felonies or multiple convictions may affect eligibility, but it is not a blanket prohibition against all felonies. Thus, individuals who have faced felony charges can still obtain a license if they can demonstrate their rehabilitation and meet the board's criteria. This framework allows for a more nuanced understanding of the applicant's background rather than an absolute disqualification.
