# Floral dealer permit

A term used when buying flower shop.

Louisiana dropped its once unique florist exam, and the permit that survives cannot require testing.

Louisiana repealed its examination gated retail florist license in 2024, and the permit left standing is expressly barred from carrying a test. The statute directs the commission to keep the floral dealer permit free of examination or testing requirements so that barriers to entry stay low. Read that as a competitive fact before reading it as a compliance one, because no credential protects this shop from the next one opening down the road. The commission's rule sets the fee at $100 to issue or renew, and the statute expires every permit on January 31. The moat is the standing orders, the wire relationships and the funeral homes that call first, so diligence belongs on the account list.
