Duane Gomer's -FOLLOWUP TO OUR LAST NOTE ABOUT CALIFORNIA LICENSE COSTS:
 
"The California DRE has proposed increasing all licensing fees to approximately double their current levels. If this is of interest to any of you, you can get more information at www.dre.ca.gov and on the home page click at the top on “Decisions Pending and Opportunities for Public Participation”. You can send in “written comments” before 3/5/09 and on March 6th there will be a public hearing in Sacramento. See you there.
 
So many readers sent me emails expressing their views that we have set up a survey so everyone can express their opinions about license fees, testing requirements and other items about California DRE Regulations. To participate, go to www.DuaneGomer.com and select “Important DRE Survey”. It will be fun and I will forward the results to DRE for consideration.
 
By the way, the DRE is operated solely on license and subdivision fees. No tax dollars are involved. The amounts being promulgated will bring the fees up to the maximum levels currently existing. In 2003 fees were reduced greatly because of the substantial increase in fees collected during the early years of this decade. Everyone wanted a license.
 
Fee increases of this type recommended by the Commissioner do not go before the State Legislature. Provisions are made for written and verbal comments at a March 6th hearing and then the recommendations go for Administrative Law Review. It is my opinion, after discussions with the DRE, that these increases will become effective July 1, 2009.
 
I intend to go to the hearing in Sacramento and will present any comments made to my blog and will present the results of our survey from interested parties."
