In addition to those licenses which Section 16102 of the Business and Professions Code, or any other law of this state, requires be issued without fee, the tax collector shall issue without fee a license to any blind person who otherwise would be entitled to such license if such person files with the tax collector a certificate by a licensed physician and surgeon or by the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation of the Department of Education of the state of California that he is a blind person as those words are used in this section. As used in this section, a “blind person” means a person having not more than 10 percent visual acuity in the better eye with correction. (Ord. 6586 § 2 (part), 1954: Ord. 5860 Ch. 1 Art. 11 § 134, 1951.)

A. The county auditor may refund to the licensee all moneys collected by the tax collector because of excess, erroneous or double payment if the licensee files a proper claim.
B. Whenever license fees are reduced during the calendar year and are made retroactive because the board of supervisors finds that the higher fee was not legally justified, and whenever the applicant has paid prior to the beginning of the license period and subsequent to such payment the fee has been reduced, the auditor shall make refunds as follows:
On the presentation of a refund claim, prepared in duplicate, approved by the tax collector and accompanied by the licensee, the auditor shall:
1. Transmit to the tax collector a warrant for the newly established fee; and
2. Remit the remainder to the licensee. (Ord. 6303 § 1 (part), 1953: Ord. 5958 § 4, 1952: Ord. 5860 Ch. 1 Art. 11 § 133, 1951.)

Notwithstanding Sections 7.06.280 and 7.06.290 of this code, the annual ambulance or ambulette vehicle license purchased under the provisions of this chapter is transferable to a new vehicle in the operator’s ambulance or ambulette fleet if the new vehicle replaces an old vehicle, no longer in service, for which the license was originally issued. If the new ambulance or ambulette vehicle is an addition to the operator’s existing ambulance or ambulette fleet, then a new license for the vehicle must be purchased. (Ord. 96-0068 § 1, 1996: Ord. 88-0181 § 4, 1988.)

The director of the department of health services shall be notified in writing of any request to transfer an ambulance operator’s license or ambulette operator’s license from the current licensee to another person, partnership, corporation, or other entity at least 30 days prior to the proposed effective date of such transfer. Upon receipt of such notification, the director may require the processing of a new application, including a full license application fee, for a license transfer. Notice of a requirement for a new application must be sent by certified mail to the license transferee from the director within 15 days from the receipt by the director of the transfer notice.
Following receipt of an application for a transfer of ownership of the license, the director may conduct a public hearing to determine if the applicant meets all requirements of this title. (Ord. 96-0067 § 1, 1996.)
