First for Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. He signed his first two-year budget and then vetoed legislation, bringing a halt to four new licensing and certification requirements. Pence says bills requiring licensing of dietitians, diabetes educators and anesthesiologist assistants create unnecessary barriers to the free market, and would get in the way of economic growth. The governor says the state should be looking for ways to require fewer licenses, not more. The governor notes he supported a bill establishing a panel to review all Indiana‘s licenses and consider which could be eliminated.
