Nicole Fox joins to discuss occupational licensing–a form of government regulation that requires a person to obtain a license in order to pursue a particular profession or vocation for pay. Nearly 30% of jobs in America require this permission slip, yet many states are pushing back saying that doing so places unnecessary and burdensome barriers on people just trying to earn a living.
Nicole serves as Director of Government Relations at the Platte Institute. She joined the Platte Institute in 2017 after serving in the Nebraska Legislature from 2015-2016, where she was appointed by the Governor to represent Legislative District 7. During her time in the Legislature, she passed Nebraska’s first occupational licensing reform bill to exempt natural hair braiding from cosmetology licensing. One of her areas of focus at the Platte Institute is occupational licensing reform, and she has seen several bills to reduce the burdens of licensing cross the finish line.
