The fee increase was outrageous. I had to pay for 5 license because I am an instructor and school owner.  There was no written notice sent out and like myself, it caught a like of people off guard.  I think the increase put a burden on the professionals that want to do the right thing and make an honest living.  It caused a lot if people to work without a license so that they could make the money to pay to renew their license, or to even go without work until they were able to gather up the funds.  If the increase came with an extended expiration date, that would have ease some of the burden.  Our goal should be the safety and health of the public.   Do something that's going to help the public by requiring continued education, because the increase only causes harm, in no wayndoesnit help.  Surprise the industry with something that helps for a change
