2007 California Insurance Code Article 8. Expiration And Renewal Of Licenses And Cards

CA Codes (ins:14090-14094)

14090.  Every license, branch office certificate, and pocket card
issued under this chapter shall expire on May 31 of each
even-numbered year.  To renew an unexpired license or certificate,
the licensee shall, on or before the date on which it would otherwise
expire, apply for renewal on a form prescribed by the commissioner,
and pay the renewal fee prescribed by this chapter.  On renewal, such
evidence of renewal of the license or certificate as the
commissioner may prescribe, and renewal pocket cards for the persons
mentioned in Section 14034, shall be issued to the licensee.



14090.1.  Notwithstanding Section 14090, the commissioner may
establish license periods and renewal dates for all licenses issued
pursuant to this chapter so as to distribute the renewal work to
permit the most efficient and economical use of personnel and
equipment.  In such cases, to the extent practicable, provision shall
be made for the proration or other adjustment of fees so that no
person shall be required to pay more than that which he or she would
have been required to pay had no change in license periods or renewal
dates been made.


14091.  Except as otherwise provided in this article, an expired
license or branch office certificate may be renewed at any time
within five years after its expiration on the filing of an
application for renewal on a form prescribed by the commissioner, and
the payment of the renewal fee in effect on the last preceding
regular renewal date.  If the license or certificate is renewed more
than 30 days after its expiration, the licensee, as a condition
precedent to renewal, shall also pay the delinquency fee prescribed
by this chapter.  Renewal under this section shall be effective on
the date on which the application is filed, on the date on which the
renewal fee is paid, or on the date on which the delinquency fee, if
any, is paid, whichever last occurs.  If so renewed, the license or
certificate shall continue in effect through the date provided in
Section 14090 which next occurs after the effective date of the
renewal, when it shall expire if it is not again renewed.
   Renewal of a license or certificate shall not prohibit the
bringing of disciplinary proceedings for an act committed before the
effective date of the renewal.



14092.  A suspended license or branch office certificate is subject
to expiration and shall be renewed as provided in this article, but
renewal of the license does not entitle the licensee, while the
license remains suspended and until it is reinstated, to engage in
the licensed activity, or in any other activity or  conduct in
violation of the order or judgment by which the license was
suspended, and renewal of the branch office certificate does not
entitle the licensee, while the certificate remains suspended, and
until it is reinstated, to engage in the licensed activity at the
location for which the certificate was issued, or to engage in any
other activity or conduct in violation of the order or judgment by
which the certificate was suspended.



14093.  A revoked license or branch office certificate is subject to
expiration as provided in this article, but it may not be renewed.
If it is reinstated after its expiration, the licensee, as a
condition precedent to its reinstatement, shall pay a reinstatement
fee in an amount equal to the renewal fee in effect on the last
regular renewal date before the date on which it is reinstated, plus
the delinquency fee, if any, accrued at the time of its revocation.



14094.  A license or branch office certificate which is not renewed
within five years after its expiration may not be renewed, restored,
reinstated, or reissued thereafter; and a license which expired
before October 1, 1958, and was not reinstated before October 1,
1961, may not be renewed, restored, reinstated, or reissued.
   The holder of the license or certificate may obtain a new license
or certificate only on compliance with all of the provisions of this
chapter relating to the issuance of an original license or
certificate.
