I apologize in advance for the long post. Thank you too all that are participating in it. While I don’t expect to change anything in the law, this discussion is really helping me to understand the various aspects of the issue.

Why do we even put up with the various boards requirements for reciprocity? Can anyone tell me of a federal law that allows the states this authority? The U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 1, states: “Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and...
