What happens if the Kentucky Auctioneer Association does not provide a list of names for board vacancies in a timely manner?

If the Kentucky Auctioneer Association fails to provide a list of names for board vacancies within the required timeframe, the governor is empowered to directly appoint a qualified auctioneer to fill the position. This mechanism ensures that the board can remain functional and that the necessary leadership is maintained despite any delays from the association. The process prioritizes the continuity of governance within the auctioneer licensing board, which is essential for upholding standards and regulatory functions in the profession.

In situations where the association does not fulfill its duty, allowing the governor to make direct appointments guarantees that there are still qualified individuals overseeing auctioneer operations, which ultimately protects the interests of both practitioners and the public.
