register with the Department of Professional and Financial |
Regulation, Office of Licensing and Registration if that service |
is located in the State, if a user of the service is located in |
the State or if personal property or a service offered for sale |
or lease is located or provided in the State. As part of this |
registration, among other requirements, the bill requires that |
covered Internet auction listing services collect and maintain |
users' contact information and have policies enabling complaints |
to be made and users to be suspended. The bill additionally |
makes operation of a covered Internet auction listing service |
without registering a Class E crime, enumerates grounds for |
denial or suspension of a registration and gives the Commissioner |
of Professional and Financial Regulation authority to adopt rules |
to implement the registration process. |
