Sorta.These laws are enforced a lot, though usually not by cops. The whole reason behind these laws is to drive up prices by banning people from participating in parts of the economy.
They're also intended to let people know "this guy is at least minimally competent" because you don't want just any random schmuck designing and building that interstate bridge or driving tractor trailers weighing 40tons on it.
EDIT: Florida has a problem on the "designing it" side because there are a lot of retired Architects and Engineers down there. Some don't give a shit and are willing to OK stuff they didn't even look at if you write them a cheque. Contractors down there need to be experienced enough to go "hold on a sec, this is dumb" before things go horribly wrong.
