§ 24-29. Denial, suspension, revocation of license.

(a)

Every owner or operator and driver licensed under this article shall comply with all parish, state and federal laws. Failure to do so will justify the parish council suspending or revoking the permit or license.

(b)

The parish council may deny any applicant's permit or license whenever in the exercise of its reasonable and sound discretion, and after notice and affording the applicant a hearing thereon, it shall determine that the applicant is not a fit and proper person to have such permit or license. The applicant may appeal within ten days from such denial to the council for a hearing on the denial for the council to determine if such denial is justified.

(c)

The parish council is hereby given authority to suspend any permit or license issued under this article for failure or refusal to comply with the provisions of this article, such suspension to last for a period of not more than 30 days. The parish council is also given authority to revoke any permit or license for failure to comply with the provisions of this article; however, the permit or license may not be revoked unless the holder has received notice and has had an opportunity to present evidence in his behalf.

(d)

Whenever a person who has been issued a permit or license under this article shall be charged in any court with a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or with any felony, or with violation of this article, the parish council is hereby given authority to suspend the permit or license pending final disposition of the charges against him, and to revoke same upon conviction thereof.
