They can weigh <br />qualifications to decide whether or not to grant licenses. <br />Unless administrators act arbitr~rilv or unreasonably, theirs' <br />is the final word on whether persons can practice the profession <br />in their state. Courts will not overturn licensing decisions <br />merely because the judges disagree with the regulators. <br /> <br />Licensing of cloud seeders is usually done on the basis <br />of the information contained in application forms, accompanying <br />documents (e.g., diplomas, licenses from other states, publica- <br />tions, etc.), letters of recommendation, and information other- <br />wise available to the licensing agency.
