    You know. At 1st I was wondering if this was really the NASBLA type
    certification certificates that many states now require (one time payment of
    say $10 and good for life after some fundamental training and a short test).

    So, I went to www.nasbla.org just for fun and found two files listed right
    on their top level webpage:

    http://www.nasbla.org/pdf/Model%20Acts/new/Mandatory%20Education%2092105.pdf

    and

    http://www.nasbla.org/pdf/Model%20Acts/new/Operator%20Licensing%2092105.pdf

    The 1st one was adopted in 1987, and is the model that has been followed by
    states for the above mentioned certificates.

    But I guess that good is not good enough.... Read the 2nd one. It was 1st
    proposed in 1994, and it is full renewable licensing...

    I understand that NASBLA is a type of lobbying organization. I do know they
    have been effective in getting certificates in place, and guess it can only
    be time until they get the licensing.

    Arg..
