I just found out that fortune tellers are required to live in their community for one year
before being granted a license in Massachusetts.
From a news article:
************************************************************************************************
"It takes more than a crystal ball, a set of tarot cards, and some New Age music to make it as a psychic in Massachusetts.
State law requires all fortune tellers to be licensed by local authorities. But rather than certifying their clairvoyance (or even their acting abilities), would-be psychics must instead prove they have lived for at least one year in the towns where they plan to start their businesses. "
*************************************************************************************************
My thoughts:
Jewelry appraisers (some who might also be called fortune tellers
can live anywhere that they choose
and do not need to be licensed.
Diamond and Jewelry Appraisers who handle fortunes worth of jewelry= no license
Fortune Tellers who spin stories of good or bad fortune= license required.
Strange state law
