Renewal under this section shall be effective on the date on which the application is filed, on the date on which the renewal fee is paid, or on the date on which the delinquency fee, if any, is paid, whichever last occurs.
The expiration date of a certificate renewed pursuant to this section shall be determined pursuant to Section 6795.
