Chiles v. Salazar · ¶61

Second, licensing laws have traditionally addressed what qualifications an individual must possess before practicing a particular profession. See Bergman 62 (licensing laws generally “establis[h] minimum standards of preparation and en- sur[e] the professional is qualified”); R. Kry, The “Watchman for Truth”: Professional Licensing and the First Amendment, 23 Seattle U. L. Rev. 885, 887 (2000) (a “licensure scheme typically sets out certain requirements that the professional must fulfll before practicing”). And whatever traditional interest a State may have in ensuring a professional possesses a particular set of qualifications, that interest does not automatically entail a right to dictate a professional's point of view. NIFLA, 585 U. S., at 773.
