What fee must be paid when a Class A or B license is reclassified to a Class C license?

When a Class A or B license is reclassified to a Class C license, the fee that must be paid is the difference in cost between the licenses. This is because transitioning to a lower-level license generally does not require a full fee for the higher classification, which is more comprehensive. Instead, the individual only needs to settle the variance between the already paid amount for the Class A or B license and the cost of the Class C license.

This process acknowledges that the qualifications and the scope of work associated with a Class A or B license differ from those of a Class C license. Therefore, the fee structure is designed to reflect that difference rather than charging the complete fee again for the reclassification.
