The bill doesn't mean you won't have to compete for customers. Hopefully the education you're getting and certificate or whatever they will issue to you will make you more desirable to customers. Also, after you've done it for a while and know your stuff you won't have to attend "continuing education" classes to keep you're licence up. It's better to be able to attend the classes you think will help you rather than some state approved set of classes that might be of no use.
