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. In this code, what does "until the department takes the action" mean? Does it mean that a license is suspended/revoked until the department suspends/revokes the license?

I believe they mean jurisdiction of the department. Basically it means your license will be revoked until your DMV hearing where they will make a final decision as whether or not to take your license away or issue a license with provisions. However, I would need to know more about your case to give you a definite answer. If I knew more about your case, I would be able to give you a more detailed answer.
