5     thereafter, forward the same, together with a report of
6     such conviction, to the Secretary.

10 the clerk, or judge, if the court has no clerk, to forward such
11 restricted driving permit and a facsimile of the officer's
12 citation to the Secretary of State as expeditiously as
13 practicable.
14     (c) For the purposes of this Code, a forfeiture of bail or
15 collateral deposited to secure a defendant's appearance in
16 court when forfeiture has not been vacated, or the failure of a
17 defendant to appear for trial after depositing his driver's
18 license in lieu of other bail, shall be equivalent to a
19 conviction.
20     (d) For the purpose of providing the Secretary of State
21 with records necessary to properly monitor and assess driver
22 performance and assist the courts in the proper disposition of
23 repeat traffic law offenders, the clerk of the court shall
24 forward to the Secretary of State, on a form prescribed by the

5 electronic format or a computer processible medium as required
6 under paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of this Section, any
7 disposition of court supervision for any traffic violation,

14 forwarded under paragraph (a)(4), shall be privileged
15 information, available only (i) to the affected driver, (ii) to
16 the parent or guardian of a person under the age of 18 years
17 holding an instruction permit or a graduated driver's license,
18 and (iii) for use by the courts, police officers, prosecuting
19 authorities, the Secretary of State, and the driver licensing
20 administrator of any other state. In accordance with 49 C.F.R.
21 Part 384, all reports of court supervision, except violations

7     Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the
8     privilege to drive any motor vehicle shall be suspended as

5     employment or within the scope of the petitioner's
6     employment related duties, or to allow the petitioner to
7     transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
8     petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive
9     necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to
10     transport himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug
11     remedial or rehabilitative activity recommended by a

17     petitioner's household to and from daycare. The petitioner
18     must demonstrate that no alternative means of
19     transportation is reasonably available and that the
20     petitioner will not endanger the public safety or welfare.
21     Those multiple offenders identified in subdivision (b)4 of
22     Section 6-208 of this Code, however, shall not be eligible
23     for the issuance of a restricted driving permit.
24              (A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
25         suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating
26         Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a

 

 

HB5720 - 23 - LRB096 20267 AJT 35863 b

1         local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
2         Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
3         of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
4         the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a
5         combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
6         occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
7         driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
8         been equipped with an ignition interlock device as
9         defined in Section 1-129.1.
10             (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
11         suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due
12         to any combination of:
13                 (i) a single conviction of violating Section
14             11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
15             local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense
16             or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where
17             the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
18             element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state
19             offense; or
20                 (ii) a statutory summary suspension under
21             Section 11-501.1; or
22                 (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
23         arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if
24         issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
25         vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
26         interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.

 

 

HB5720 - 24 - LRB096 20267 AJT 35863 b

1             (C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the
2         use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the

4         not to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall
5         establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,
6         and conditions relating to these fees.
7             (D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
8         employment purposes, then the prohibition against
9         operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
10         ignition interlock device does not apply to the
11         operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
12         that person's employer when used solely for employment
13         purposes.
14             (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
15         restricted driving permit for a period deemed
16         appropriate, except that all permits shall expire
17         within one year from the date of issuance. The
18         Secretary may not, however, issue a restricted driving
19         permit to any person whose current revocation is the
20         result of a second or subsequent conviction for a
21         violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
22         provision of a local ordinance or any similar
23         out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal
24         Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or other drugs
25         is recited as an element of the offense, or any similar

HB5720 - 25 - LRB096 20267 AJT 35863 b

1         offenses, until the expiration of at least one year
2         from the date of the revocation. A restricted driving
3         permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
4         cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the
5         Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
6         a driver's license issued under this Code may be
7         cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
8         conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
9         ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
10         deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
11         suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
12         permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
13         the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
14         the applicant to participate in a designated driver
15         remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of
16         State is authorized to cancel a restricted driving
17         permit if the permit holder does not successfully
18         complete the program.
19     (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
20 subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State
21 under this Section shall, except during the actual time the
22 suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use
23 only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities,
24 the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the
25 Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver
26 under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the

 

 

HB5720 - 26 - LRB096 20267 AJT 35863 b

1 person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made
2 available to the driver licensing administrator of any other
3 state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected
4 driver or motor carrier or prospective motor carrier upon
5 request.
6     (c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
7 subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person
8 by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license
9 will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of
10 the notice.
11     (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
12 reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
13 whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
14 or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of the
15 provisions of this Section, require the applicant to
16 participate in a driver remedial education course and be
17 retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
18     (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the
19 Drivers License Compact.
20     (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
21 driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
22 driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any
23 provisions of this Code.
24     (f) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of
25 State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the
26 operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a
