End the monopoly!
 

It is fundamentally wrong for a single, specific certification body to monopolize the ability to obtain a license or practice in Virginia.   Other boards exist that have even higher standards (for example, the QABA board is accredited by ANSI), and should be allowed an even playing field.   Simply allowing the BACB to be the only certification board represents a guild mentality that should not work its way into Virginia regulations.
