North Carolina Introduces Shop Licensing Bill

[Joe Marconi]

Shop liscensing has been a debated topic since as long as I can remember. The North Carolina General Assembly on Tuesday introduced Senate Bill 454 that would require collision and mechanical repair shops to be licensed to conduct business in the state.

What is your stand on shop liscensing?

That would be amazing! If they would enforce it! We actually had a motel that had a couple fatalities including a child a while back due to carbon monoxide leaks from the pool heater. The contractor had complaints saying he wasn't licensed - no action was taken until the deaths.

The last thing we need is more government input. LIcense require more money we have to pass along to our customer. Don't think a $100 once every 2 years is all its going to take. It will all $tart with board member$. Then they will set up $upervisor$ who need $ecratarie$ to run the $taff. This $taff will I$$ue, In$pect and enforce the regulation$. All of which will require $alerie$, in$urance and benefit$.

 

Remember when the government took over the whore house and went bankrupt selling booze and blowjobs?

I have no problem with it. The problem I have is that the state is broke and there will probably be no enforcement. That means I will have a license and the guy down the street who rips people off won't . Nothing will change because there is no teeth in it. I may be proven wrong, but history tends to repeat itself.

My point exactly!

Exactly right.
