§ 14-516. Renewal of permits.

(a)

All permits shall expire on December 31 of each year, including the year of issue, but may be reinstated by the city administrator for the following year, upon renewal application being made and a determination by the city administrator that the applicant remains qualified as set forth in this chapter, and upon payment of the appropriate fees.

(1)

Each applicant for renewal must submit along with his renewal application a certificate from a licensed physician certifying that, in his opinion, the applicant is not afflicted with any communicable diseases or other disease or infirmity which might make him an unsafe driver.

(2)

Each applicant for renewal must submit a driver's history from the state department of public safety covering the previous calendar year.

(b)

Permits may be renewed only between November 15 and December 31 of each year for the following year. Permits not renewed by December 31 shall be void and such driver must reapply as a new applicant in order to obtain a permit.

(c)

Drivers operating within the city limits that have been issued permits under O.C.G.A. § 46-7-85.9 and have already presented proof of such permits to the city administrator, must present a valid permit issued by the state public service commission each year by December 31, if said business is to be continued the following year.
