[BC] State Licensing

[Ron Castro]

Not only would there be 50 different sets of rules, but you might need to go 
through certification every time you wanted to do work in a different state 
if the states don't have reciprocal agreements.  It's that way now in some 
jurisdictions for PE's.  When we put up a tower in Sonoma County, we need a 
California-certified PE analysis.  No other states PE's are accepted.
