there seems to be a lot of focus on the piece of paper that says someone
is educated. what i found quite useful in the Washington State Licensure
bill is a way to report unprofessional services and have a fair hearing to
keep such people from continuing to practice. eventually, the less
trained persons will be taken out of practice.

currently,most people who have received inadequate/incorrect professional
services from us have no way to seek restitution or keep that person from
further practice short of an expensive lawsuit.

since we don't have a good mechanism in place addressing this, it will
unfortunately come from big government.
