Q. Clarification of CVC 13550?

The part I would like clarified begins and end with **. Do they mean that the suspension or revocation stays in effect until the DMV does something? What action are they referring to? 
13550. 
Whenever any person is convicted of any offense for which this code makes mandatory the revocation or suspension by the department of the privilege of the person to operate a motor vehicle, the privilege of the person to operate a motor vehicle is suspended or revoked **until the department takes the action required by this code,** and the court in which the conviction is had shall require the surrender to it of the driver’s license or temporary permit issued to the person convicted and the court shall within 10 days after the conviction forward the same with the required report of the conviction to the department. 

A. I'm not sure exactly what your asking, the court transmits the conviction to the DMV which triggers the suspension of the license. The driver then remains suspended until the action is cleared.
