All licenses issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter expire annually on June thirtieth unless revoked or suspended prior to that time by the director or his designee or upon notice served upon the director or his designee that the employer of any runner has canceled the licensee’s authority to act for the employer.

A renewal license must be issued by the director or his designee to a licensee who has met the continuing education requirements in § 38-53-85(A) upon the payment of a renewal fee of two hundred dollars for runners and four hundred dollars for professional bondsmen, but the licensees are required in all other respects to comply with the provisions of this chapter. After the receipt of the licensee’s application for renewal, the current license continues in effect until the renewal license is issued or denied for cause.
