(1) The Commission shall suspend or revoke the permit of an operator if it finds that: (a) The operator or dispatcher made a false statement on the application for an operator's or dispatcher's employment permit; (b) The operator's or dispatcher's driver's license issued by the Secretary of State has been suspended or revoked; (c) The operator or dispatcher has been convicted, during the preceding 5 years, of any criminal offense of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdiction involving any of the following, and the holder does not make a compelling showing that he is nevertheless fit to hold an operator's license: (i) Bodily injury or attempt to inflict bodily injury to another; (ii) Theft of property or attempted theft of property; or (iii) Sexual assault or attempted sexual assault of any kind; or (d) The operator or dispatcher has, during the preceding 5 years, violated this Chapter, Commission regulations or orders, or any other law affecting public safety, and the holder does not make a compelling showing that he or she is nevertheless fit to hold an operator's license. (2) The Commission, upon notification and verification of any conviction described in this Section, of any person to whom license has been issued, occurring within the 5 years prior to such issuance or any time thereafter, shall immediately suspend the employment permit of such person, and issue an order setting forth the grounds for revocation. The person and his employer shall be notified of such suspension. Such person shall not thereafter be employed by a relocator until a final order is issued by the Commission either reinstating the employment permit, upon a finding that the reinstatement of an employment permit to the person constitutes no threat to the public safety, or revoking the employment permit. (3) If the employment permit is revoked, the person shall not thereafter be employed by a relocator until he obtains an employment permit license under Article IV of this Chapter.
