Default Does your State charge $$ extra

Went to the DMV for a DL renewal today, just an eye test and a few bucks NBD, but it always erkks me that they charge 10 bucks extra to keep my "M" endorcement.

Thats Illinois, How about your State?

No extra charge in West Virginia and as I recall the same applied when I lived in Maryland. I know I never paid for the endorsement renewal in California. Hopefully, that hasn't changed since I left.

Indiana tried that for a year to fund spinal cord research. It was killed the next year by the general assembly.

Not in PA either.
How about other endorsements? Does Illinois charge extra for them also? If not, then why are they singling out motorcycles?

$28 in California. We are one of the most taxed and pay some of the most fees in the nation. Ridiculous. I guess we are paying for mother nature/good weather.
