Section 11105 Of Chapter 1. Driving Schools And Driving Instructors From California Vehicle Code >> Division 5. >> Chapter 1.
11105
. (a) The department shall issue a license certificate to each
driving school owner and to each driving school operator when it is
satisfied that the owner has met the qualifications required under
this chapter. The license shall be for a period of one year from
midnight of the last day of the month of issuance unless canceled,
suspended, or revoked by the department.
(b) The license shall be renewed annually. The department shall
require all of the following for the renewal of the license:
(1) Compliance with the provisions of Sections 11102 and 11105.2
for renewal of a driving school owner's license or Section 11102.5,
except paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 11102.5, for
renewal of a driving school operator's license.
(2) Satisfactory completion of an examination as provided in
Section 11102.5 at least once during each succeeding three-year
period after the initial issuance of a license certificate.
In lieu of any examination for renewal of the license, the
department may accept submission by the licensee of evidence of
continuing professional education. Professional education, as used in
this subdivision, means satisfactory completion of courses related
to traffic safety, teaching techniques, or the teaching of driver
instruction acceptable to the department or participation in
professional seminars approved by the department.
(c) The department may issue a probationary license and
certificate subject to conditions to be observed by the licensee in
the exercise of the privilege granted. The conditions to be attached
to the exercise of the privilege shall not appear on the face of the
license or certificate but shall be such as may, in the judgment of
the department, be in the public interest and suitable to the
qualifications of the applicant as disclosed by the application and
investigation by the department of the information contained therein.
(d) Upon notification of death of a driving school licensee the
department may issue a certificate of convenience to the executor,
executrix, administrator or administratrix of the estate of a
deceased holder of a validly outstanding certificate to conduct a
driving school, or if no executor, executrix, administrator or
administratrix has been appointed, and until a certified copy of an
order making such appointment is filed with the department, to the
surviving spouse or other heir otherwise entitled to conduct the
business of the deceased, permitting such person to conduct the
driving school for a period of one year from and after the date of
death, and necessary one-year renewals thereafter pending, but not
later than, disposal of the business and qualification of the vendee
of the business or such surviving spouse or heir for a license
certificate to conduct a driving school under the provisions of this
division. The department may restrict or condition the certificate
and attach to the exercise of the privilege thereunder such terms and
conditions as in its judgment the protection of the public requires.
(e) The department shall not issue or renew a license certificate
unless it determines that the driving school owner has complied with
Section 11103.2.
