11    of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or Section 70 of
12    the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act
13    shall not be considered convicted. Any person found guilty
14    of this offense, while in actual physical control of a
15    motor vehicle, shall have an entry made in the court record
16    by the judge that this offense did occur while the person
17    was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle and order
18    the clerk of the court to report the violation to the
19    Secretary of State as such. After the cancellation, the
20    Secretary of State shall not issue a new license or permit
21    for a period of one year after the date of cancellation.

24    ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
25    deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension or
