    #COVID19 further proves the stupidity of occupational licensing laws. Massachusetts, where I’m isolating, smartly relaxed licensing laws to let nurses licensed in other states work here too. That's a start, but all states should repeal more of their destructive licensing rules: pic.twitter.com/IogSbiKOXg

        Senator, it seems to make sense in these times, in this context when the public health need is so great and dire. But what about other license-governing industries, like the law or real estate?

        Licensing laws are in place for a reason. What we need is more states working towards reciprocity.

        Seriously, why do we have reciprocity in place for handgun licenses but not for professional certifications for medical professionals, educators, etc.?

        Since I was originally licensed in VA, I had the ability to work in 13 other states who signed on for the compact. For the others, I just had a form to fill out and a few to pay. It wasn’t rocket science.
