Unless otherwise specifically provided in this code, any license or registration which is issued pursuant to this code expires whenever the bond which is required of a licensee or registrant under this code lapses or is canceled. If, however, the bond is canceled as a result of the retirement from business of the bonding company and the director is satisfied that the licensee is solvent, he may continue the license or registration for a period of not to exceed 30 days to enable the licensee or registrant to secure a new bond.
