A. No license shall be issued to any person who has had a similar license revoked or suspended or whose application for a similar or the same license has been denied within a one year period from the date of application for the second or succeeding permit, unless the applicant can show that the applicant now meets qualifications for issuance or renewal of the license and the reasons for or the circumstances surrounding the revocation of the license are not likely to reoccur.

B. The issuing officer in determining whether to issue or renew a license may consider any proper suspensions or revocation of the same or similar license occurring in the previous five years. The written denial shall state the reasons for denial and the right to appeal. If the license issuance or renewal is denied by the issuing officer on account of prior suspensions or revocation, the issuing officer’s decision may be appealed if the licensee files a written notice or appeal within five days of the written denial of the license.

If an appeal is filed, the proceedings shall be governed by BC 2.05.056 and BC 2.05.058.
