The authority of all societies licensed may thereafter be renewed annually but in all cases to terminate on the succeeding June 30. However, a license so issued shall continue in full force and effect until the new license is issued or specifically refused. For each such license or renewal the society shall pay the Commissioner a fee as specified in Code Section 33-8-1. A duly certified copy or duplicate of such license shall be prima-facie evidence that the licensee is a fraternal benefit society within the meaning of this chapter.
