Wisconsin auctioneers now able to conduct live auctions in Ohio
Wisconsin State Farmer
The Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services announced a reciprocity agreement with Ohio that would allow Wisconsin licensed auctioneers to conduct live auctions without pursuing an additional license.
A press release said this is the first reciprocity agreement for Wisconsin in twenty years, and Ohio is just the seventh state to have such an agreement with Wisconsin. Other states with the agreement are Illinois, Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky and North Carolina.
The agreement would also allow Wisconsin auctioneers to gain licensure access to the other 17 states with which Ohio has an agreement, even if Wisconsin does not have an agreement with them. The new rule essentially gives auctioneers an Ohio license if they already have a Wisconsin one. This also means Ohio auctioneers now have a Wisconsin license.
