§ 13168 License Renewal Refusal

Key Takeaways

  • •The Fire Marshal can say 'no' to renewing a license for the same reasons they can say 'no' to giving a new one.
  • •If they say 'no', you have the same rights to argue or appeal as someone who was denied a new license.
  • •The rules for renewing are the same as the rules for getting a license the first time.

Example

Imagine you have a license to sell fireworks, and it's time to renew it.

If the Fire Marshal finds out you broke safety rules (like storing fireworks near a school), they can refuse to renew your license. You can then argue your case, just like someone who was denied a new license.

§ 13168 License Renewal Refusal

The State Fire Marshal may refuse to renew any license in the same manner and for any reason that he is authorized pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 13185) of this chapter to deny an original license. The applicant shall, upon such refusal, have the same rights as are granted by Article 4 of the chapter to an applicant for an original license which has been denied by the State Fire Marshal. (Repealed and added by Stats. 1968, Ch. 802.)
