Existing law provides for the payment of a fee for the renewal of certain licenses, certificates, or permits in an inactive status, and, for certain licenses, certificates, and permits that have expired, requires the payment of all accrued fees as a condition of reinstatement of the license, certificate, or permit.This bill would limit the maximum fee for the renewal of a license in an inactive status to no more than 50% of the renewal fee for an active license.
