763.07 LICENSE DENIAL, SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION.
(a) The Service-Safety Director may deny the issuance of any tow truck owner's or operator's license to any person who upon investigation, clearly lacks qualifications and fitness to be licensed under this chapter. Any license granted or issued pursuant to the terms of this chapter to an owner or an operator may be suspended or revoked at any time by the Director upon satisfactory proof of the violation of any provision of this chapter, or upon satisfactory proof of the violation of any of the rules and regulations which the Director promulgates pursuant to Section 761.18 or for any of the reasons which could have been grounds for the refusal to issue an original license. If a license is suspended or revoked after a hearing as set forth in Section 763.08, the license shall be surrendered to the Director's office within five days of notification of such suspension or revocation and the window sticker shall be destroyed.
(b) Any violation of the rules and regulations pertaining to the volunteer towing list will, upon satisfactory proof to the Director, result in the immediate removal of the offending tow truck business or tow truck operator from the list. The removed party shall be given the opportunity to appear before the Service-Safety Director for the purpose of explaining the activities which led to the removal from the list, or for the purposes of refuting any evidence presented which led to the removal from the list. Notice of the removal from the volunteer towing list shall be sent to the removed party within three days following removal. Notice of intent on the part of the removed party to appear before the Service-Safety Director shall be sent to the Service-Safety Director's office within three days following receipt of notification of removal from the list. In the event the violation warrants, further action may be taken against the tow truck or tow truck operator pursuant to the terms as set forth in this section.
