Ohio just took a step to make it easier for people who need a license to work to make a living.
By quietly signing a bill on January 2 that recognizes occupational licenses issued by other states and required by law to practice in various trades and professions, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine reduced the barriers to entry for people already licensed elsewhere to set up shop in Ohio without having to go through the whole onerous licensing process yet again. It's not a complete fix for a regulatory burden that serves as a barrier to employment and drives up prices for consumers, but it's a step in the right direction.
