Rule 31-1006 - DENIAL OF LICENSE AND REAPPLICATION

1006.1

An applicant who has been denied a license to operate a public vehicle for hire for reasons other than for failure to successfully complete an examination may file a new application for a license no sooner than six (6) months after the denial, unless the denial is reversed on an appeal filed pursuant to Chapter 7 of the this title.

1006.2

If an applicant files an appeal from a denial as provided by Chapter 7 of this title and the denial is sustained, or if an operator's license has been suspended or revoked by the Commission and sustained on appeal, no new application may be made until the expiration of any suspension or revocation period imposed.

1006.3

[REPEALED]

1006.4

In determining the fitness of an applicant under § 1009 (Not for Hire), the Office shall not take into account the conduct or record of the applicant upon which the waiting period was based. The determination of fitness shall be based on the conduct or the record of the applicant's conduct during and after the waiting period. If the personal conduct during the waiting period satisfies the personal conduct and other requirements of this chapter, the Office may issue a license to the applicant.

1006.5

If the Office discovers information not previously known to the Office, which relates to the moral character, fitness, or eligibility of the applicant and which was not part of the record in the proceeding on the appeal filed pursuant to Chapter 7 of this title, the Office may find on the basis of that information, that the moral character, fitness, or eligibility of the applicant is such that it does not justify the issuance of the license and may again deny the issuance of a license.

1006.6

The Office shall establish repeat examinations for applicants who are denied licenses because of failing the qualifying examination under the provisions of § 1004. Repeat examinations shall be scheduled to permit a fair opportunity for applicants to successfully complete the examination. If an applicant fails to pass the examination after three (3) attempts, the applicant shall re-take the operator's training course before being allowed to take the examination again.
