(a) A private ambulance service license expires one year from the date of issuance. A licensee shall apply for a renewal at least 30 days before the expiration of the license. The director shall renew a license without a public hearing if, after investigation, the director determines that:
(1) the licensee has performed satisfactorily under the terms of the license;
(2) the service provided continues to be necessary and desirable; and
(3) the licensee continues to comply with all requirements of this article.
(b) If, after investigation of a renewal application, the director determines that a statement in Subsection (a)(1), (2), or (3) is not true, the director shall call a public hearing and consider the renewal in the same manner as an original application. (Ord. 21861)
