7.32.010 Renewal of permit or chauffeur’s license.
A. A permit issued pursuant to this title shall be valid until December 31st immediately following the date of its original issuance. Thereafter, such permit shall be renewable for a term of one year, commencing on January 1st. A chauffeur’s license issued pursuant to Chapter 7.12 shall be valid for one year from the date of issuance.
B. An application to renew a taxicab permit shall be submitted on a form approved by the executive director or commission in the same manner as an original application. An application to renew a permit initially issued in accordance with Chapter 7.08 shall be granted by the executive director only if, at the time of renewal, the permittee meets all of the requirements imposed in Chapter 7.08 for issuance of the original permit. If the permittee does not meet all such requirements, the executive director shall not renew the permit, and it shall lapse and become ineffective.
C. An application to renew a chauffeur’s license shall be submitted on a form approved by the executive director and shall be accompanied by all of the information provided for in, and meet all the requirements of Section 7.12.020, except that the applicant need not submit fingerprints as required in Section 7.12.020(B)(3) of this title. An application to renew a license initially issued in accordance with Chapter 7.12 shall be granted by the executive director only if, at the time of renewal, the licensee meets all of the requirements imposed in Chapter 7.12, other than the requirement to provide fingerprints with the application. If, at the time the chauffeur applies for a renewal license, the chauffeur has not yet obtained a certificate from a physician licensed to practice medicine in Alaska verifying the applicant’s physical ability to drive, and the executive director determines that the chauffeur meets all of the other requirements of Chapter 7.12 for a license, the executive director may issue temporary permission for the applicant to continue operating under the applicant’s initially issued license for a period of time up to thirty days while the chauffeur obtains the physician’s certificate. The executive director shall impose the fee provided for in Section 7.04.090(E) for issuing temporary permission to operate without a physician’s certificate. If the licensee does not meet all the requirements imposed in Chapter 7.12 and obtain the physician’s certificate, the executive director shall not renew the license, and it shall lapse and become ineffective. (Ord. 2005-05 §2(part): Ord. 2002-02 §8: Ord. 99-05 §3(part))
7.32.020 Permit application following suspension or revocation.
Any person whose license or permit has been suspended, revoked or not renewed pursuant to any provision of this chapter may not apply for a new license or permit for a period of one year after such suspension, revocation or nonrenewal becomes final. A person who has failed to pay a civil penalty imposed for violation of this title shall be ineligible to renew the permit or license to which the civil penalty pertains. (Ord. 2005-05 §2(part): Ord. 99-05 §3(part))
7.32.030 Duty to maintain application.
A permittee or licensee is under a continuing obligation to keep the information on his or her application current. Failure to do so shall be a violation of this title. A permittee or licensee shall give written notice to the executive director of any change to his or her application within ten days, and the executive director shall amend the application accordingly. No person may knowingly make a false or misleading statement on his or her application for a permit or license under this title. (Ord. 2005-05 §2(part): Ord. 99-05 §3(part))
7.32.040 Permit transfer.
A. No person may transfer any financial, proprietary, or other interest in a permit or any interest in a corporation, joint venture, association, partnership or other group or entity which owns an interest in a permit, unless that person obtains the prior approval of the commission.
B. Only a permittee can transfer his or her interest in a permit to another. An application for transfer shall be made to the executive director on forms approved by the executive director and shall be accompanied by a proposed contract of sale which states the specific consideration to be paid by the transferee, as well as all other material conditions of the sale. If the transferee meets the requirements of this section and those of Chapter 7.08 for the issuance of a permit, the commission shall approve the transfer. A dispute arising from an underlying contract of sale is not grounds upon which the commission can refuse to transfer a permit. (Ord. 2005-05 §2(part): Ord. 99-05 §3(part))
