Tenn. Code Ann. § 56-25-603

Societies that are now authorized to transact business in this state, and all societies hereafter licensed, may continue such business until June 30, 1992. The authority of these societies and all societies hereafter 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 license or renewal, the society shall pay the commissioner a fee of ten dollars ($10.00). A duly certified copy or duplicate of the license shall be prima facie evidence that the licensee is a fraternal benefit society within the meaning of this chapter.
