Contact information is as Bill provided.
Massachusetts requires licensing. The cost is $50 per two years, although the license expires on one's birthday, so the first one will need to be renewed before two full years. There is a fifty-question true/false test required to get the initial license. New licenses must be "sponsored" by existing licenses (which just means that you need someone else's license number in order to take the test).
The test is pretty difficult to fail. Most of it is either common sense or knowledge of state laws (which are mostly pretty obvious, though it might be good to get a copy of the current laws from the State House bookstore ahead of time). Know about fire extinguishers, 35mm film runs at 90 feet per minute, nitrate film is not allowed in any booth in Massachusetts, know what rheostats, transformers, and rectifiers are, etc.
