In order to approve auctioneer school curriculums on an annual basis, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) indicates it would need an additional one-half FTE (Administrative Technician IV) each year. Currently, there are 34 auction schools throughout the United States and Canada, three of which are certified by the Texas Workforce Commission. TDLR estimates 5 schools would request curriculum approval.
Because TDLR would not have authorization to collect fees for curriculum approval, it indicates the auctioneer's license fee would be increased to cover costs associated with the program.
