②If a licensee comes to fall under one of the following items, the public safety commission with jurisdiction over the licensee's domicile at the time the licensee comes to fall under that item may revoke the license:

③If a public safety commission seeks to revoke a license or suspend it for 90 days or more pursuant to paragraph (1) (or for a period of up to 90 days that the public safety commission fixes, if any) or to revoke a license pursuant to the preceding paragraph, but the person subject to those measures has changed addresses and resides in the jurisdictional district of a different public safety commission, it must promptly send a transfer of measures notice as Cabinet Office Order prescribes to the public safety commission with jurisdiction over the person's new domicile, unless a hearing of opinions as referred to in Article 104, paragraph (1) or a hearing regarding those measures has been completed for the matter at issue.

④When a transfer of measures notice referred to in the preceding paragraph has been sent to the public safety commission concerned, that public safety commission may revoke the person's license or suspend its validity for a period that it fixes, not exceeding six months, if the person falls under any of the items of paragraph (1) (if the person who falls under item (v) of that paragraph is a person to whom Article 102-2 applies, only after the period referred to in that Article has elapsed without the person undergoing the training prescribed in that Article), in accordance with the standards that Cabinet Order prescribes as referred to in that paragraph, and may revoke the person's license if the person falls under any of the items of paragraph (2); and the public safety commission that sent the transfer of measures notice may neither revoke the person's license nor suspend its validity in connection with the case, notwithstanding paragraph (1) or (2).

⑤Paragraph (3) applies mutatis mutandis if a public safety commission seeks to revoke or suspend a license pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

⑥On finding it to be necessary to do so when suspending a license pursuant to paragraph (1) or (4) on the grounds that the licensee falls under one of items (i) through (iv) of paragraph (1), a public safety commission may order the licensee to undergo fitness screening on a date and at a place it designates or to submit a medical certificate that meets the requirements that Cabinet Office Order prescribes by the deadline that it specifies.

⑦If a public safety commission revokes a license pursuant to paragraph (1) or (4) on the grounds that the licensee falls under one of the items of paragraph (1) (other than item (iv)), it is to designate a period of one to five years, in accordance with the standards that Cabinet Order prescribes, during which the licensee subject to that measure may not obtain a license.

⑧If a public safety commission revokes a license pursuant to paragraph (2) or (4) on the grounds that the licensee falls under one of the items of paragraph (2), it is to designate a period of three to 10 years, in accordance with the standards that Cabinet Order prescribes, during which the licensee subject to that measure may not obtain a license.

⑨If, at the time a person's license is revoked or suspended pursuant to paragraph (1), (2), or (4), the person's address is within the jurisdictional district of a public safety commission other than the one taking the measures in question, the public safety commission taking the measures must promptly notify the public safety commission with jurisdiction over the person's domicile that it has done so.

⑩If a person whose license is suspended pursuant to paragraph (1) or (4) (other than on the grounds that the person falls under one of paragraph (1), items (i) through (iv)) completes the training set forth in Article 108-2, paragraph (1), item (iii), the public safety commission may shorten the period of the license suspension, to the extent that Cabinet Order prescribes.
