N.J.S.A. 48:4-7 — Revocation of certificate of public convenience and necessity

48:4-7. Revocation of certificate of public convenience and necessity Any such certificate of public convenience and necessity for the operation of an autobus, charter bus operation or special bus operation heretofore granted and now in effect or hereafter granted and in effect, shall continue in effect until revoked, as herein provided unless otherwise provided in the certificate. Any such certificate of public convenience and necessity, heretofore or hereafter granted, may be revoked by the Board of Public Utility Commissioners after notice and hearing whenever it shall appear that the holder thereof has failed to comply with any law of this State or any lawful regulation imposed by the Board of Public Utility Commissioners. The Board of Public Utility Commissioners, after notice and hearing may revoke any certificate of public convenience and necessity provided it finds that, (a) the operation of autobus service under certificates of public convenience and necessity held by more than one autobus operator for service in a specific area will adversely affect the financial stability of operators rendering service in such area because of insufficient revenues, (b) the adverse effect upon the operators will result in improper or inadequate service to the public and (c) there will be sufficient autobus service to meet the requirements of public convenience and necessity even though one or more certificates of public convenience and necessity are revoked by the board. The authority contained in this section is in addition to any authority to revoke certificates of public convenience and necessity which the board of Public Utility Commissioners may otherwise have. Amended by L.1973, c. 158, s. 4, eff. June 7, 1973.
