(a) If the chief of police denies the issuance of a license required by this division or revokes such a license, he or she shall send to the licensee by certified mail, return receipt requested, written notice of his or her action and the right to an appeal. The licensee may appeal the decision of the chief of police to the city council within ten days after receipt of the notice from the chief of police. The action of the chief of police is final unless a timely appeal is made. The filing of an appeal stays the action of the chief of police in revoking a license until the city council makes its final decision. The city council may affirm, reverse or modify the action of the chief of police, and the decision of the city council is final.
(b) When the chief of police revokes a license, the revocation shall continue for one year, and the licensee shall not be issued a license for one year from the date the revocation became final. If, subsequent to the revocation, the chief of police finds that the basis for the revocation has been corrected or abated, the licensee may again be granted a license if at least 90 days have elapsed since the date the revocation became final. If the license was revoked under § 20-275(f) of this division, the licensee may not be granted another license within three years of the termination of any sentence, parole or probation.
