Licensing – Term.
35 RCNY § 63-05
in effect§ 63-05 Licensing – Term.
(a) Maximum One-Year Term. The term of an Agent's License may be up to one year, but will expire on December 31 of the year in which it is issued or renewed, unless earlier suspended or revoked by the Commission.
(b) No Longer Meets Requirements. If at any time during the term of the License, the Commission learns that the Agent no longer meets the requirements for an Agent's License, the Commission may deny any renewal application, or suspend or revoke the current License, after appropriate notice and hearing.
(c) When to File for Renewal.
(1) A renewing Applicant must file a completed application at least 60 days before the expiration date of the License.
(2) Application Submission Date.
(i) Applications filed online: The date of submission is the date an application is filed online.
(ii) Applications filed by mail: The date of submission is the postmark date.
(iii) Applications filed in person: The date of submission is the date an application is filed in person.
(3) The Commission will not accept a renewal application after the expiration date of the License. If the application is not filed before the expiration date, the License cannot be renewed.
(d) Suspended Licenses.
(1) If a License is suspended, the Licensee must apply for renewal as required in (c) above if the Licensee wants to renew the License. Failure to complete the renewal requirements means that the License cannot be renewed.
(2) A License that is suspended is not Valid and cannot be used until the suspension ends, provided that the Agent holding the License may continue to operate the Taxicabs he/she operated prior to the imposition of the suspension, consistent with Paragraph (3) of this Subdivision. This is true even if the Applicant has filed an application for a renewal.

(i) Will not be authorized to manage or operate any new Medallion(s) at any time that the Agent's license is suspended.

(iii) Must notify each Medallion Owner who is using the suspended Agent to manage the Owner's Medallion within five (5) business days of the suspension:
I. Of the dates during which the Agent is suspended, and
II. that the Medallion Owner has the option to terminate its contract with the Agent, or, if its contract will expire during the period of suspension, that the Medallion Owner has the option to not renew its contract.
