State Mandated CASp Fee
All businesses, including subcontractors, non-profits, home-based and out-of-state businesses, are subject to the $4 state-mandated fee. (California Senate Bill 1186 required the one dollar ($1.00) State Disability Access Education Fee for all business license applications and renewals from January 1, 2013 until December 31, 2017. Assembly Bill 1379 increased the state-mandated fee to $4.00 after January 1, 2018)
The fee will go towards increasing disability access and compliance with construction-related accessibility requirements and developing educational resources for businesses to facilitate compliance with federal and state disability laws, as specified.
