Opinion: California needs to end its job-killing licensing laws
For the third election in a row, California voters wisely rejected a costly ballot initiative that would have had disastrous consequences for the state’s 80,000 dialysis patients. Dialysis typically lasts four hours per session, with many patients needing three treatments a week. Missing even one treatment can be fatal.
No other state has such a burdensome requirement. And for good reason. According to an analysis by thewould increase each clinic’s costs by several hundred thousand dollars annually on average.” Fortunately, voters rejected Prop. 29 by a margin of 2:1. Unfortunately, however, Prop. 29’s defeat is a rare victory against overregulation in California. Unlike the constituents they represent, the California Legislature still routinely protects special interests with high licensing requirements.
Moreover, many of California’s licenses are wildly excessive. Both its tree trimmer and home entertainment installer licenses require a staggering four years of experience. By comparison, entry-level emergency medical technicians, who—quite literally—hold people’s lives in their hands, need only 40 days of training to get their licenses. All told, those burdens come at a heavy price. A 2018nearly 196,000 jobs and cost the state over $22 billion each year.
