    Interesting development.
    Florida legislature just voted to deregulate a host of businesses in order to cut red ink on books.  Could happen in other states as well.
    Part of the reasoning is also to invite better talent to compete -- to open Florida's doors to all who are truly capable but can't blossom due to onerous regulations...

    FLW called them 'inferior desecrators'.
    Now, as residential architects -- 'inferior exterior descrecrators' -- we are in the same boat with para architects who are unlicensed.  Makes sense to me.
    Welcome to the club people!
