(a) The commissioner may, in his or her discretion, fix the dates of expiration of respective licenses for all adjusters in any manner as is considered by him or her to be advisable for an efficient distribution of the workload of his or her office. If the expiration date so fixed would upon first occurrence shorten the period for which a license fee has theretofore been paid, no refund of the unearned fee shall be made. If the expiration date so fixed would upon first occurrence lengthen the period for which license fee had theretofore been paid, the commissioner shall charge no additional fee for the lengthened period. If another date is not so fixed by the commissioner, each license shall, unless continued as herein above provided, expire at midnight on May 31 next following the date of issuance, and the commissioner shall renew annually the license of all such licensees who qualify, and make application therefor, and have paid the fees set forth in this article.
