From a story on the ARRL website, Aug. 16, 2021.

The $35 fee for a new, renewed, or upgraded ham radio license, or a
callsign change (sequential or vanity) for US hams, apparently won't
take effect until 2022. Full details are at:

until-2022

Speaking of changes, the Technician Class Question Pool and exams will
change on July 1, 2022...with the General Class Question Pool and exams
changing on July 1, 2023...and the Amateur Extra Class Question Pool
and exams changing on July 1, 2024.

For those involved with license exams in the US, make sure that as those
dates get closer, that prospective examinees are studying the CORRECT
Question Pool (2018 Technician, 2019 General, and 2020 Extra). I've had
instances at test sessions where examinees failed the exam, because they
were studying material that was out of date...and they basically wasted
their time and money.
