(a) Permits shall expire 12 months from the date of issue. Applications for renewal of permits shall be made at least 30 days prior to the date of expiration of the existing permit in the same manner as the application for an original permit, on such forms as may be required by the chief.
(b) The chief may refuse to renew an operating permit if the taxicab for which the permit was issued has not been in regular use and service in the town in the three months preceding the application for renewal. The purpose of this provision is to assure that the full allocation of operating permits are allocated to taxicabs that are actually used in service in the town.
