(b) Licensees shall apply to renew their license every calendar year. Licensees may submit properly completed renewal application forms and filing fees 60 days before the license expiration date. To be deemed timely, the completed renewal application forms and filing fees must be received by the Secretary at least 30 days before the license expiration date.

(c) It shall be the responsibility of each licensee to accomplish timely renewal of its license.

(d) No activity regulated by this Act shall be conducted by a licensee whose license has expired.
