(a) The Mayor may revoke the license of any taxicab operator who is convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction of a violation of any of the ordinances of the City or of the laws of the State, relating to motor vehicles, their operation and equipment, or who is convicted of any federal or State law or ordinance of the City, relating to illegal traffic in intoxicating liquors.
(b) If the person convicted is a directing or managing officer of a corporate taxicab operator, the license shall be revoked if it appears that the corporation sanctioned or aided in the commission of the offense for which conviction was had.
(c) Upon revocation of any taxicab operator's license the Mayor shall cause a notice in writing to be served upon the licensee or left at his place of business, whereupon it shall be the duty of such licensee to deliver his license to the Mayor together with his taxicab registration tags or certificates and thereafter it shall be unlawful for such taxicab operator to engage in the business of operating a taxicab or taxicabs until a new license is duly issued to him.
(d) No new license shall be issued for a period of one year from the date of such revocation. In the event of a subsequent conviction of the same taxicab operator or a violation of the same provisions of the law as in the first conviction, the Mayor shall permanently revoke such taxicab operator's license and shall not issue another such license to such taxicab operator at any time.
