Section 87GG. Each license granted under sections 87T to 87JJ, inclusive, shall expire upon the date prescribed pursuant to section 87CC and shall be renewed upon the filing of an application for renewal and the payment of the prescribed renewal fee not later than its expiration. No person licensed under said sections shall engage in the occupation covered by such license until the prescribed renewal fee shall have been paid and renewed license issued.
