[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2575642, member: 42"] I don't think it's a cash cow, but it is an unnecessary administrative change that makes it just a little harder for some folks trying to get their licenses. If it's too hard for instructors to keep class certs indefinitely, fine. Why does that have to be tied to certificate validity? How many times has OSBI actually contacted an instructor to validate a cert anyway? It's ridiculous that the class I took in 2002 is good forever because I got my license but my wife, who sat next to me in the same class, has to take it again because she was always too busy to finish the process and now it's too "hard" to keep or validate her record. It's a digital age...expiring pieces of paper with signatures are archaic. This legislation just shows that no matter how many steps forward we take, Oklahoma can still be a backward good 'ol boy state. [/QUOTE]
