The language:
"to prohibit a person from earning money as a carpenter on a commercial structure or as a carpentry contractor unless he or she is granted a state license. The bill would impose testing, training, license and testing fees, and apprenticeship standards. To qualify for a license a carpenter would need to have at least 6,000 hours of experience over at least four years under the direct supervision of a licensed carpenter contractor. "

So here we have Joe Handyman, laid off from whatever business he has been slubbing at, has some talent in his hands, but can't use it legally because the state says no one can contract with him for his talent?

Obviously, the 'argument' that would be made is one of safety.. yada..
