Hearing Information

Rule Information
This is a statement of scope for a proposed permanent rule. No rule has yet been drafted. These changes are proposed to clarify the department’s interpretation of s. 218.34, Stats. The department previously interpreted the statute as saying the department may only issue a license after the statutory procedure for assessing and issuing license has concluded and only permits persons holding said license to bid on automobiles at an auction after the license process is completed. Rulemaking is necessary to clarify the department’s interpretation of s. 218.34, Stats., to include any conditions, limitations, or restrictions the department may deem appropriate to ensure accurate bidder identity, system integrity, fraud avoidance, and commercial efficiency.
