The director shall establish by regulation the terms of adjusters’ licenses as are necessary for the practical administration of the provisions relating to adjusters, but those terms shall not be for less than one nor more than four years. Licenses may be renewed upon application and payment of the renewal fees if the application for renewal is made within the 30-day period prior to the date of expiration. Persons whose licenses have expired shall immediately cease the activity requiring a license, but the director shall accept applications for renewal during the 30-day period following the date of expiration if they are accompanied by a new license fee. In no case shall a license be renewed where the application is received more than 30 days after the date of expiration.

Each application for a new or renewal license shall be accompanied by a fee of ten dollars ($10) for a new license or five dollars ($5) for a renewal license. The application shall be made upon a form furnished by the director. It shall contain such information concerning the applicant’s background and experience as the director may prescribe, in addition to other information required by law.
