Good riddance to Louisiana's absurd florist licensing exams. But this week's reforms do leave one dilemma: What will be America's worst licensing law now?

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.

Great news for florists!

Now, how about reminding g the law in Alaska that states that flamingos are not allowed in barber shops!

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 I'm waiting for people in Louisiana to start getting bouquets of ragweed, poison ivy and hemlock from florists.

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.

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?
