Beyond the original application fee, an applicant must also pay which fee upon license issuance?
Explanation
B&P §7137 sets the fee schedule, under which the applicant pays an application fee to be examined and a separate initial license fee before the license is issued; renewal fees start at the end of the first two-year cycle. (b) confuses the two: renewal comes later and is a different fee. (c) is not a CSLB fee at all — the bond premium is paid to a surety company, which is why it is not on the fee schedule. (d) is the misconception that one payment covers the whole process.
