          HB 502 CONDUCTING AUCTIONS OF REAL PROPERTY                         
                                                                              
 SENATOR KELLY announced  HB 502  to be up for consideration.  He              
 asked his aide, Sherman Ernouf, what the vote on the House side               
 was.  He answered it was 35 - 3.                                              
                                                                               
 REPRESENTATIVE DAVIES, sponsor of HB 502, explained that                      
 auctioneers are not allowed under law to auction real estate unless           
 they have a real estate sales license. HB 502 allows auctioneers to           
 auction real estate if he has had a course in real estate sales and           
 there must also be a broker present at the auction of real estate.            
                                                                               
 MR. ERNOUF said there wasn't any opposition.                                  
                                                                               
 SENATOR TORGERSON moved to pass HB 502 from committee with                    
 individual recommendations.  There were no objections and it was so           
 ordered.
