Arkansas Code
Subchapter 3 - Licensing
§ 17-17-305. Nonresidents — Reciprocity

(a) A person holding a license to engage in auctions issued to him or her by a proper authority of a state, territory, or possession of the United States or the District of Columbia having licensing requirements comparable to Arkansas and who in the opinion of the Auctioneer's Licensing Board otherwise meets the requirements of this chapter may upon application be licensed without further examination.
(b)
(1) Nothing in this section and §§ 17-17-304 and 17-17-306 shall prevent the conducting of any auction in this state by any nonresident auctioneer if such an auctioneer is duly licensed by the state of his or her residence and that state, through reciprocity, permits a resident of this state who is an auctioneer duly licensed to conduct auctions in this state to conduct auctions in the other state without being required to obtain a license in the other state.
(2) The license fee applicable to a nonresident auctioneer from another state which does not permit an auctioneer who is a resident of this state and who is duly licensed in this state to conduct auctions in the other state without being required to obtain a license in the other state shall be of the same amount that the other state charges auctioneers who are residents of this state and who are duly licensed in this state to obtain a license to conduct an auction in the other state.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, no person duly licensed as an auctioneer in any other state and temporarily present in this state shall conduct an auction in this state unless he or she acts in association with an auctioneer duly licensed in this state if the state in which the nonresident auctioneer is licensed requires such an association with an auctioneer licensed in that state before an auctioneer duly licensed in Arkansas may conduct an auction in that state.
