(A) Drivers' licenses may be suspended or revoked at any time by the Board of Public Works and Safety, or a Judge of any Court of Competent Jurisdiction. It shall be the duty of any officer or judge suspending a taxicab driver's license to note thereon the date and cause of such suspension, and to demand the surrender of the license, and it shall be the duty of the driver to whom such license was issued to surrender his license upon the demand of the officer or judge suspending. When the license is suspended or revoked by an official other than the Board of Public Works and Safety, the driver's license and a note of the revocation or suspension shall be forwarded to the Board of Public Works and Safety, The license shall be returned to the driver surrendering it at the expiration of the period for which the license was suspended. A second suspension for the same reason or, in any case, a third suspension of a driver's license shall revoke the license. No driver whose license has been revoked by the Board of Public Works and Safety shall again be licensed as a taxicab driver in the city, except by approval of the Board of Public Works and Safety. Where a license has been suspended or revoked by the City Judge, the approval of the City Judge shall be necessary to the restoration or reissue of such license.
(B) Whenever a license is suspended or revoked by the City Judge, notice of such revocation with the cause thereof shall be forwarded to the Board of Public Works and Safety. The Board of Public Works and Safety shall notify the Police Department whenever such a license is revoked.
