Hell, licenses?
The Workmen’s comp alone is enough to put you out of business.
Almost all licenses were lobbied in to protect those who already were engaged in that profession. IOW create a government protected monopoly and restrict your competition.
Another revenue-raising scheme for the state.
Some states even require licenses for hair braiding or body hair removal!
IIRC, here in FL you have to have a ‘dealers’ license to sell used cars if you sell more than 3 in a years time!..............
200?? Is that all? Come to Florida, we’ve got about 2000.
BTW...do you really think any hypothetical savings would ever be passed along, if occ license was eliminated?
We got change, all right. I have a PE license in Michigan. I just renewed my license last week. The fee went UP and they added 15 hours every two years of "Continuing Education" coursework. Worse yet, coursework that you take at work does NOT count. So, you have to sit through irrelevant coursework elsewhere, even though you are remaining state-of-the-art at your primary occupation.
Wholesale potato dealers need to be licensed?
Who knew? Who could have guessed?
........so, Snyder passed the buck onto some “commission” with predictable results!
A Real Leader would have declared Sunset on all licenses one year out unless they obtain an exemption by the legislature and signed by the Governor!
“Necessary” licenses would be perfunctorily exempted from Sunset by the legislature and governor while all others would become the subject of great debate as they should be.
Licensing for hide haulers.
I am constantly getting stuck behind draft horse teams
hauling wagons full of hides.
