What is the Massachusetts auctioneer bond?

Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 100 Section 3 requires individuals file a $10,000 surety bond before being licensed to work as an auctioneer in the state. This Massachusetts surety bond specifically requires a licensed auctioneer to comply with all provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 100 and pay all fines, penalties, and judgments resulting from any such violations. Put another way, the Massachusetts auctioneer bond protects the state and its consumers from financial losses resulting from illegal acts committed by an auctioneer.
