Doesn’t New York still require a license to braid hair?
I don’t know if that’s the worst, but it ought to be right up there.
Not what I read, if takes away the stupid test. I assume that one had to purchase a license all along, which will remain.
Great news for florists!
Now, how about reminding g the law in Alaska that states that flamingos are not allowed in barber shops!
Oh, a d avoid Hawaii because apparently
You cannot place a coin behind your ear by law
What about getting a fish license?

“I don’t know if that’s the worst, but it ought to be right up there.”
It’s a sanitation issue, the same as barbershops and hair salons. What’s interesting is that barber shops and hair salons might practice sanitization (by law) to a stricter code than abortion clinics.
I don’t see why that is “dumb”. If you are going to hang out a shingle claiming a skill, you should demonstrate that skill before getting a license.
Now please, can we do this with house painters? Let the market decide who can paint a house instead of the government!!
The most ridiculous licensing requirement was for the New York City cab medallion where the price could exceed a million dollars. One good thing about Uber and Lyft was to destroy that insane system of restraint of trade by the government. I never heard any logical reason to limit the number of cabs. Sure, the current cab owners didn't want competition, but that should never have been the government's business. Even safety and fraud protection arguments never were reasonable for the restriction in the number of cabs.
Something over & above a business license for something as simple as flower arranging doesn’t make much sense to me. Even a “business license” shouldn’t require more than an incidental processing fee. All the gov’t is doing is giving you an EIN.
Support pets are not allowed in barber shops? That’s absurd.
I know. And you would think that if they were allowed anywhere, it would be in barber shops where all that hair murder goes on.
A “Fee”
No, it’s a tax
Dog license/tag?
No, it’s a tax.
A tax to have a pet dog.
What’s next, mandatory pet ownership continuing education classes?
“That effort began in the early 2000s, when the Institute for Justice filed a lawsuit challenging the florist licensing law.”
Just 20 short, short years for a stupid law, that everyone agrees is stupid, to be overturned.
Seems like reversing the deep dangers of the deep state is going to take longer than that.
I’m curious about the history of Louisiana’s florist licensing regulation. Was it the result of corruption?
Few laws and regulations aren't.

My city's business tax fee is a mil. The tax is one mil (1/1000) of your gross business income. I asked if a tax return is required? No. So how does the city know what my income is?
