B. This chapter applies to any person who seeks to avoid its application by any device, subterfuge or pretense.

D. At the time of filing an application for a license, an applicant shall pay to the superintendent the fee prescribed in section 6-126.
E. Before June 30 of each year, each licensee may obtain a renewal of a license by filing an application in the form prescribed by the superintendent and paying the fee prescribed in section 6-126.
