(A) The Department of Motor Vehicles must immediately revoke the license of any dealer issued pursuant to this title upon:
(1) a conviction involving theft or possessions of a stolen vehicle, involvement with a chop shop, or a violation of law involving tampering with, altering, or removing vehicle identification numbers or markings; or
(2) a conviction in administrative, civil, or criminal court of a dealer violation of state or federal law regarding the disconnecting, resetting, altering, or otherwise unlawful tampering with a motor vehicle's odometer.
(B) Upon the revocation of a license, the licensee, or his designee, shall immediately return to the department the license and all dealer license plates. The department must revoke the dealer license plates if the plates are not returned to the department.
(C) The department may deny any application for dealer licenses for ten years after notification of the conviction if the applicant is a member of the immediate family as a dealer whose license has been revoked. At the conclusion of the ten-year period, a dealer whose license has been revoked may apply to the Dealer Sanctions Review Board to be relicensed. However, upon review of the board, a dealer whose license has been revoked may continue to be denied a dealer license of any type.
