Episode 22: Occupational Licensing Bupkis. Brian, Chris, and Andy discussed the need for occupational licensing reform in Virginia, focusing on four specific recommendations including the elimination of unnecessary requirements, reciprocating other states’ licenses, streamlining health and safety processes, and removing restrictions on cash-based non-insurance practices. While addressing some of the common objections about simplifying licensing, they argued that many licenses are set up to benefit special interests at the expense of the people and that simplifying these systems could lower barriers to entry, boost competition, increase quality, and improve overall outcomes.
