A Home Improvement Salesperson working for multiple contractors must register separately with each contractor. What is the registration fee per contractor relationship?
Correct Answer
D) $75
B&P Code Section 7153.1 establishes a $75 registration fee for each contractor-salesperson relationship.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
B&P Code Section 7153.1 sets the registration fee at $75 per contractor-salesperson relationship. Each pairing is treated as a separate registration, so a HIS working for three contractors pays $75 three times ($225 total).
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $150
$150 is incorrect. This is a distracter that may be confused with contractor license fees or renewal fees, but Section 7153.1 clearly establishes $75 per relationship.
Option B: $100
$100 is a plausible round number but has no basis in the code for HIS registration fees. It may be confused with other CSLB administrative fees.
Option C: $50
$50 is too low. While it might seem like a reasonable administrative fee, the statute specifies $75.
Memory Technique
Think '3 quarters per contractor': $75 = three quarters. Each new contractor relationship costs you three quarters — a simple coin-counting image to fix the $75 figure.
