THIS WILL DO MORE FOR POOR PEOPLE, MINORITIES, AND WOMEN THAN ANY GOVERNMENT PROGRAM: Florida Just Passed the Most Sweeping Occupational Licensing Reform in History: The Occupational Freedom and Opportunity Act “will save thousands of Floridians both time and money for years to come,” says Gov. Ron DeSantis. “The bill fully repeals some of the state’s most unnecessary licensing laws, including those that previously governed interior designers, hair braiders, and boxing match timekeepers. It loosens the state’s cosmetology licensing laws to allow a wide range of hair and nail styling activities to take place outside of licensed salons—a particularly timely reform in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, as it will pave the way for stylists to make house calls. Dieticians and nutritionists will be able to work without fear of being targetted by sting operations and threatened with jail time simply for the supposed crime of giving out tips about healthy eating.”

This kind of thing needs to happen everywhere.
