My wife had an SLP license in California (but never a CA resident) and let it expire. Several years later she wanted to re-activate it and they forced her to pay the yearly fees for the intervening years she did not have her license active.
Then, after she paid the back fees and re-activated her license, she was told to pay an additional $1,000 to another board she had never heard of. She had to pay so she wouldn’t lose her California clients. They basically robbed her of about $1800.

Sounds like somebody was stuffing their pockets. That’s the government we have today. They always have to get their cut and are never satisfied. I would dare to say we may have one of the most corrupt governments off all time, particularly after O took the reins and guaranteed transparency...
Bloody hell. California's government is just criminal (i.e., Democrat). I defy any bureaucrat or politician to give your wife a rational explanation for charging her back fees for the time her license was lapsed, and she wasn't doing business in the state.
What they did to her was purely punitive, and completely immoral. If it's legal, then the law supporting the practice is immoral, and should be struck down by the courts.
