@lynnwoodside Although a few states allow a deduction, most do not.
Your "out of luck" status comes from the company your work for. Although employees are not allowed to deduct job expenses, employers are allowed to deduct their employee's expenses. Most "large companies" have a policy of reimbursing their employees for professional license fees. It's done on a tax free basis, if the employer has an "accountable plan".
Check with your employer, if they have a such a plan. They may not be aware that you can no longer (since 2018) get such deductions on your personal return, but they can deduct it on their business return.
