In order that any applicant granted a franchise may justify the capital investment essential to the adequate and efficient ambulance service required in the public interest, the term of any franchise granted shall be three years; provided, that any franchise granted may be suspended or revoked by the Board, after a hearing held upon 30 days’ notice to any franchise holder for failure to comply with any provision of this chapter. If, upon such hearing, the Board shall find that the franchise holder has corrected any deficiencies, and has brought himself or herself into compliance with the provisions of this chapter, the franchise shall not be suspended or revoked. No franchise granted may be sold, assigned, or transferred or in any way vest in any person other than the applicant to whom the franchise is granted.
