Senator Mike Morrell
SB 999 is sponsored by the R Street Institute, a non-partisan policy think tank based in Washington, D.C. On the topic of the bill and licensing in general, Steven Greenhut, Western region director for the R Street Institute observed in a recent op-ed that “We can have a vigorous debate about the value of occupational licensing in general, but there should be no debate about the importance of removing onerous standards that benefit no one and simply get in the way of people doing an honest day’s work.”
