* Correction: Corey mistakenly references the fee to get a CA Driver License at $100. The state actually only proposed a fee hike, but never implemented the hike. The fee to get a California Driver License remains $33 (Ding). Some behind the scenes audio of when Corey realized he was referencing a proposal to raise the fee, but the agency didn’t actually impose the fee.  Link to the current CA DMV Fee Schedule: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/dl/fees/driverlicense_fees
