No person who is refused a certificate of public convenience and necessity or whose
certificate of public convenience and necessity is revoked shall be eligible for issuance
of a new certificate until such time as the grounds for refusal of a certificate no
longer apply. However, if a certificate is refused or revoked for (i) knowingly making,
or causing to be made, either directly or indirectly, any false statement on the application,
or (ii) the certificate holder knew or consented to a driver charging a rate above
or below the rates allowed, such owner shall not be eligible until 12 months from
the date of refusal or revocation.
(Code 1978, § 19.1-41)
