295.69 (1) (g) of the statutes;
relating to: exempting certain auctioneers from
3the requirement to obtain a livestock dealer license.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law generally requires a person who engages in the business of selling
livestock to obtain a livestock dealer license from the department of agriculture,
trade and consumer protection.
Under this bill, an auctioneer who is registered by the department of regulation
and licensing is not required to obtain a livestock dealer license if the auctioneer
conducts a farm sale at which no livestock is sold on a consignment basis or a sale
at a fair or breed association show at which every animal sold is required to be
shipped directly to slaughter.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
