Upon completion of the vehicular inspection, the department of safety and permits
shall, if necessary, replace any for-hire vehicle renewal certificate previously issued
for such vehicle with the proper for-hire vehicle renewal certificate, which shall
be affixed to the windshield of the vehicle. If any vehicle is found defective at
any time, the current for-hire vehicle renewal certificate shall be removed and a
new for-hire vehicle renewal certificate shall not be issued until all defects found
to exist have been corrected.
