A city’s аirpоrt bоаrd thаt оversees a large international airport in the United States has adopted a policy of reviewing current vendor licensees every three years. During the process, the board reviews customer comments, assesses the utility of the vendor’s services, and reviews the profitability of the vendor (licensees pay rent based on a percentage of their gross profit). The licensee is entitled to present evidence on all of the issues reviewed. The owner of a franchised currency exchange on wheels had a license to operate the cart within the airport until last week, when his license came up for review. After an appropriate hearing, the board refused to renew the owner’s license mainly because of an excessive number of customer complaints. Nevertheless, the owner continued operating his cart pursuant to a license granted to him under the Federal Borders Act that allowed him to operate his cart at all borders or their functional equivalent. A city police officer patrolling the airport asked to see the owner’s license. The owner showed his federal license, but the officer issued the owner a citation because he did not have a city license. Which of the following is the owner’s best constitutional defense?
Rаdоn is а hаrmful gas fоund in the sоil of certain regions of the United States. A state statute requires occupants of residences with basements susceptible to the intrusion of radon to have their residences tested for the presence of radon. The statute also provides that the testing for radon may be done only by testers licensed by a state agency. According to the statute, a firm may be licensed to test for radon only if it meets specified rigorous standards relating to the accuracy of its testing. These standards may easily be achieved with current technology, but the technology required to meet them is 50% more expensive than the technology required to measure radon accumulations in a slightly less accurate manner.The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) does not license radon testers. A federal statute, however, authorizes the EPA to advise on the accuracy of various methods of radon testing and to provide to the general public a list of testers that use methods it believes to be reasonably accurate.A recently established company in the state uses a testing method that the EPA has stated is reasonably accurate. The company is also included on the EPA’s list of testers using methods it believes to be reasonably accurate. The company applied for a radon testing license in the state, but its application was denied because it cannot demonstrate that its method of testing for radon is sufficiently accurate to meet the rigorous state statutory standards. The company has sued appropriate state officials claiming that the state may not constitutionally exclude the company from performing the required radon tests in the state.Who is likely to prevail in the lawsuit?
