Who is required to make contributions to the Fund for licensing?

All auctioneer applicants are required to make contributions to the Fund for licensing because this requirement is in place to support the regulatory framework governing auctioneers. The Fund assists in covering expenses related to the licensing and regulation of auctioneers, which ensures that all individuals entering the profession contribute to the integrity and oversight of the industry. This requirement is not limited to any specific category of auctioneers, such as veterans or apprentices, but applies universally to all applicants seeking to obtain their auctioneer license. This helps maintain a level playing field and promotes professionalism among those entering the field.
