      (2)   Whenever a transportation network chauffeur's driver's license has been revoked, suspended or otherwise invalidated by the Illinois Secretary of State or other similar authorized agency, the transportation network chauffeur shall be subject to automatic suspension from driving a transportation network vehicle for the same period that the driver's license is revoked, suspended or otherwise invalidated.

   (d)   Any person whose transportation network provider license or transportation network chauffeur license is revoked under this chapter shall be ineligible to receive another transportation network provider license or transportation network chauffeur license under the same or a different name for a period of three years following revocation.
