24    order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue
25    hardship (as defined by the rules of the Secretary of
26    State), issue a restricted driving permit granting the

 

 

HB5056- 25 -LRB097 19016 HEP 64255 b

HB5056- 26 -LRB097 19016 HEP 64255 b

1        Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
2        of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
3        the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a
4        combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
5        occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted

15            or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where
16            the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
17            element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state
18            offense; or
19                (ii) a statutory summary suspension or
20            revocation under Section 11-501.1; or
21                (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
22        arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if

12        purposes.
13            (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
14        restricted driving permit for a period deemed
15        appropriate, except that all permits shall expire
16        within one year from the date of issuance. The
17        Secretary may not, however, issue a restricted driving
18        permit to any person whose current revocation is the
19        result of a second or subsequent conviction for a
20        violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
21        provision of a local ordinance or any similar
22        out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal

2        permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
3        cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the
4        Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
5        a driver's license issued under this Code may be
6        cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
7        conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
8        ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
9        deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
10        suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
11        permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
12        the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
13        the applicant to participate in a designated driver
14        remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of
15        State is authorized to cancel a restricted driving
