1. (a) The Department may deny issuing a driver card, cab card, or a wrecker service license, and/or disapprove requests to be included on the OHP wrecker rotation, as applicable, to any wrecker service or applicant that fails to qualify therefore as provided in the rules of this chapter and the laws of title 47 of the Oklahoma statutes.
2. (b) The Department may deny, suspend, cancel, or revoke a driver card, cab card, or wrecker service license, and/or remove from the rotation log any licensed wrecker service that has committed a violation of any applicable laws of the State of Oklahoma, any applicable rules of the Department of Public Safety, or any applicable rules and orders of the Corporation Commission.
3. (c) The Department may consider the following factors when determining the sanction for a violation as described in this section:
4. (1) the severity of the alleged violation,
5. (2) the license wrecker vehicle operator's or licensed wrecker service's history of compliance or non-compliance,
6. (3) the license wrecker vehicle operator's or licensed wrecker service's demonstrated willingness and ability to avoid future violations.
7. (d) The Department will issue a corrective action plan when a driver card, cab card, or wrecker service license is denied, suspended, canceled, revoked, or a licensed wrecker service is removed from the OHP rotation. Compliance with the corrective action plan is a prerequisite to the lifting of the denial, suspension, cancellation, or removal from the OHP rotation.
8. (e) Nothing in this Chapter prohibits the Commissioner of Public Safety or Commissioner's designee from approving, denying, suspending, cancelling, or not renewing a driver card, cab card, or wrecker service license if it is determined to be in the best interest of public safety.

(f) If the Commissioner or the Commissioner's designee determines a violation as described in this section endangers the public health, safety, or welfare and requires emergency action, summary suspension of the wrecker vehicle operator or wrecker service license may be ordered pending a hearing. A hearing will be scheduled within three (3) business days of the date of the order of summary suspension.
10. (g) When the Department determines a licensed wrecker service has demonstrated a pattern of non-compliance with the applicable laws and regulations, the wrecker service license will be cancelled. The Operator may be temporarily prohibited from reapplying for a wrecker service license. The pattern of non-compliance may be established in reference to multiple violations of the same law or regulation, or by reference to individual violations of multiple laws or regulations.
11. (h) When the Department determines an original or renewal application for a wrecker service license, or an application for a driver card or cab card, contains false representations of material fact, the Department may deny the application and/or temporarily prohibit reapplication.
12. (i) The Department will immediately revoke the license of a licensed wrecker service upon receipt of a notice for failure to pay required assessments in accordance with 47 O.S. § 967.
