1. (a) Anyone wishing to address the board at a regularly scheduled board meeting will be required to submit a written request to the board no later than two weeks prior to the board meeting date. The request should include the topic to be addressed and the name(s) of the presenter(s). If time permits, the matter will be placed on the board’s agenda; otherwise, the matter will be placed on the agenda for the next regularly scheduled board meeting. All presenters will be given a time limit of fifteen (15) minutes to present their requests to the board.
2. (b) All proceedings of the Board shall be governed by Roberts Rules of Order, latest revised edition, except during disciplinary proceedings and except where otherwise provided in these rules.

4. (d) The board should be notified immediately and in writing of a change of address for any licensee. A new license reflecting the new address will then be issued and forwarded to the licensee.
5. (e) Upon notification that a licensee’s bond is subject to cancellation by his/her bonding company, the board will notify the affected licensee in writing of the company’s intent to cancel coverage. The licensee will be required to furnish a new bond to the board before the old bond expires in order to remain in good standing with the board and prevent a lapse in licensure.

8. (h) An apprentice auctioneer applying for an apprentice license that has recently completed school and passed the examination in the 4th quarter, meeting all requirements, will be issued a license that will expire the next license year and not the current license year. This will allow the apprentice to have a longer initial license year than subject to renewal immediately following the issuance of their license.
