(1) Except as provided in s. 561.351, no license shall be issued except an annual license. Licenses shall be renewed annually, and the division shall adopt an appropriate rule establishing the schedule for license renewals, which may provide for a semiannual schedule based on a division of the state into two geographic regions.
(2) Establishments that apply for licenses at times other than the annual renewal date fixed by the division for such establishments shall be required to pay the full annual fee if license issuance occurs more than 6 months before the next renewal date fixed by the division; if such issuance occurs less than 6 months before the next renewal date fixed by the division, the license fee shall be one-half of the annual fee.
