I've had:
Indiana (not super pricey, like $250 every 2 years) they don't require CME and it's really easy to get.
Kansas ($300/year if I recall....), not hard to get, but their licensing department is a PITA. They audit very frequently and if they find a hair out of place they'll be all over you. They have some kind of military version of their license as well, but I would get an IN license 10/10 before Kansas. I got caught up in that because (and I kid you not) I had a Kansas license and I moved out of state (PCS) and I failed to change my Kansas state license address to my new out-of-state address. So they flagged me and made all kinds of threats. So I changed the address. Then they called me again and said that I wasn't in line because you have to have an out-of-state Kansas license, not an in-state Kansas license, if you live out of state (would have been nice if they had just mentioned that during our first conversation). So I asked if I could just cancel the license and they said no. You can't. You have to write a formal letter rescinding your license, and then if you ever apply again you have to apply for a brand new license. Just....dumb bureaucracy for absolutely no reason.
North Dakota - Comphealth got me this license and I only had it for a very short time. I never spoke with the board, and they never contacted me. It was very nice, but I don't know much about it.
Arizona - Comphealth got me that one as well. Same thing, never heard from the board and they never contacted me. Didn't require any more documentation than average.
Washington - $650-ish every renewal period, which is 4 years. However, the first time you license you have to renew again in 2 years because &%^ you, that's why. 200 CME every 4 years, which isn't unusual but it is very easy to become complacent and then have to scramble. The board is fairly fascist. If anyone even suggests to them that you might be shady, no matter how unrealistic, no matter how much or little proof the accuser has, they send out an e-mail to every other provider in the state saying that you're a bad boy and that you should be ashamed. Then, if no fault is found, they send out another e-mail stating that everything is resolved. But no more information than that. It's offensive, and assumes guilt. Fortunately I have never ended up on one of those lists.
Texas - I mentioned that above. Don't get a Texas license unless you plan on working as a civilian in Texas. Not at all worth it.
