Each license issued pursuant to this subsection shall expire at the close of business on June thirtieth of each year, unless such license is renewed. The license shall not be transferable or assignable. Each licensee shall, on or before June twentieth of each year, pay to the commissioner the sum of four hundred dollars as a license renewal fee for the succeeding year, commencing July first. Each applicant or licensee shall pay the expenses of any examination or investigation made under sections 36a-625 to 36a-634, inclusive.
