    any of the following, and the holder does not make a

    compelling showing that he is nevertheless fit to hold an 
    operator's license:
            (i) Bodily injury or attempt to inflict bodily 
        injury to another;

            (ii) Theft of property or attempted theft of 
        property; or

            (iii) Sexual assault or attempted sexual assault

the employment permit of such person, and
issue an order 
setting forth the grounds for revocation.  The person and

employment permit, upon a finding that
the reinstatement of an 
employment permit to the person constitutes no
threat to the 
public safety, or revoking the employment permit.

    (3) If the employment permit is revoked, the
person shall 
not thereafter be employed by a relocator until he obtains an

employment permit license under Article IV of this Chapter.
