(a) The Commissioner of Consumer Protection may establish, combine or abolish divisions, sections or other units within the Department of Consumer Protection and allocate powers, duties and functions among such units, but no function vested by statute in any officer, division, board, agency or other unit within the department shall be removed from the jurisdiction of such officer, division, board, agency or other unit under the provisions of this section.
(b) The Commissioner of Consumer Protection shall adopt regulations, in accordance with chapter 54, to designate a staggered schedule for the renewal of all licenses, certificates, registrations and permits issued by said department. If such designation of a staggered schedule results in the expiration of any license, certificate, registration or permit for a period of less than or more than one year, said commissioner may charge a prorated amount for such license, certificate, registration or permit. For any new license, certificate, registration or permit that is issued and for any guaranty fund fee that is imposed on or after January 1, 1995, the commissioner may charge a one-time prorated amount for such newly issued license, certificate, registration, permit or guaranty fund fee.
