Sec. 6-44-86. - Suspension, revocation, and appeal. A. The MTC director is hereby given authority to suspend any entertainment transportation vehicle driver permit issued under this article for a driver's failure or refusal to comply with the provisions of this article. Such suspensions may not last for a period of more than 30 days. The MTC director is also given authority to revoke any driver permit, provided that the revocation is decided in accordance with section 6-44-77(B), for failure to comply with the provisions of this article. B. If a driver is charged in any court with a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or with any felony, or with driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, or with violations of this article, the MTC director is hereby given authority to suspend the driver's permit pending final disposition of the charges against them, and to revoke such permit upon conviction thereof. C. The MTC director may revoke an entertainment transportation vehicle driver permit for good cause in accordance with section 39-262(B), if the director determines that the permittee has engaged in conduct detrimental to the public safety. D. The MTC director may not suspend or revoke any driver permit unless the driver has received notice of the charges against them and has had the opportunity to present evidence on their behalf at an administrative hearing before the MTC director, where good cause has been established. E. Any permittee whose driver permit has been suspended or revoked by the MTC director may file a written appeal with the MTC within ten business days. If an appeal is not made to the MTC within ten business days of the MTC director's decision, the MTC director's decision shall be final. A letter addressed to the MTC and delivered to the MTC office stating that an appeal from the decision of the MTC director is desired shall perfect such appeal. The MTC, as soon as practicable after receiving such notice of appeal, shall notify the permittee of the date and time of the hearing which shall be not less than five business days after the mailing of such notice. After the hearing of the appeal, the MTC shall sustain, modify or reverse the findings of the MTC director, and shall notify the MTC director and the permittee of its findings. The findings of the MTC shall be final, subject to any applicable legal processes. F. A driver whose permit is revoked may not reapply for 90 days from the date of revocation and will be treated as a new applicant. (Ord. No. 5861, 4-9-2024)
