Wash. Admin. Code § 204-36-070 - Revocation or suspension
(1) Violation
of any of these regulations will be grounds for suspension or revocation of the
authorized emergency vehicle permit. Notice will be furnished to the applicant
at least twenty days prior to the effective date of such suspension or
revocation. The notice will describe the grounds for the order and will furnish
the applicant an opportunity to be heard within the twenty-day period. The
notice may provide for immediate suspension of the permit prior to any hearing,
or the patrol may suspend the permit following the hearing but prior to final
determination, if it is necessary to do so in the interests of the public
health, safety or welfare.
(2) The
chief law enforcement officer, or fire chief if the vehicle is to be used for
firefighting purposes, of each primary jurisdiction in which the vehicle is
operated as an authorized emergency vehicle may revoke his or her certification
of the vehicle by notifying the patrol in writing or by electronic notice of
such revocation and his or her reasons therefore. Following notice to the
applicant and an opportunity to be heard, the permit may be invalidated by the
patrol.
(3) Failure to maintain the
required insurance coverage will result in suspension or revocation of the
vehicle permit by the patrol and may result in action taken on the authorized
emergency vehicle permit.
(4) An
operator, the company or organization holding the authorized emergency vehicle
permit must notify the patrol of any motor vehicle collision or violation that
occurred involving a vehicle listed under the authorized emergency vehicle
permit if such collision or violation occurred while being used under the scope
of the permit.
(a) Such notification must be
received by the patrol within thirty days of the collision or violation.
Failure to provide notification within the specified time frame may result in
suspension or revocation of the permit, an individual operator or vehicle
permit.
(b) Collisions or citations
may be cause for the patrol to suspend or revoke an authorized emergency
vehicle permit, an individual operator or vehicle permit.
(5) Falsification of any information in the
permit will result in suspension or revocation of the permit, an individual
operator or vehicle permit.
(6)
Mailing by certified mail or sending by electronic record of any notice or
correspondence by the patrol to the last physical or e-mail address of the
applicant shown on the permit will be sufficient service of notice as required
by this chapter.
(7) The patrol may
refuse an application from any company whose permit has been revoked until such
time that the company can show that corrective action has been taken to remedy
the circumstances for which the authorized emergency vehicle permit was revoked
under this chapter.
