Answer Options
A
$150
B
$100
C
$50
D
$75

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Under Business and Professions Code Section 7125.4, the initial Home Improvement Salesperson (HIS) registration fee is specifically set at $75. This fee is established by statute and applies to all first-time HIS registrations in California. The fee structure is part of the CSLB's regulatory framework for overseeing home improvement sales activities and ensuring proper registration of sales personnel.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: $150

$100 is incorrect as it overstates the required fee. While some contractor licensing fees may be $100 or higher, the specific statute governing HIS registration sets the initial fee at $75, making this amount too high for the initial registration.

Option B: $100

$150 is significantly higher than the actual statutory requirement. This amount may be confused with other contractor licensing fees or renewal fees, but B&P Code Section 7125.4 clearly establishes the initial HIS registration fee at $75, not $150.

Memory Technique

Remember 'HIS Seventy-Five' - Home Improvement Salesperson initial registration costs exactly $75, which rhymes and creates a memorable connection.
