The fee for each license is twenty-five dollars ($25.00) as provided in § 44-20-4. Any licensed machine may be removed from one location to another within the state under regulations that the tax administrator may prescribe without payment of an additional fee. Any person who operates any machine for vending cigarettes in violation of the provisions of this section is subject to the same penalties as provided in § 44-20-3 for the sale of cigarettes without a license.
