The OP is saying, if you show up with a bill to fix one of these problems, in a scoped way — like, actual working text they can put to a vote, not a general ideal of what to do — and can explain exactly what you're trying to solve, you have a decent chance of them putting it on the floor.

Just in general saying "please fix professional licensing" isn't actionable, you aren't doing the work for them. You're asking them to turn a vague idea into law, when it wasn't their problem to start with.

I think the challenge is that when such things get to the floor, you find out that special interests kick in with ad campaigns or backroom deals.

You can do the work, but what is it worth if the competition is a very generous campaign donation in exchange for keeping the status quo
