Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB1568

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that certain persons ineligible to re-apply for a license may instead apply for a restricted driving permit after the expiration of 3 years from the effective date of the most recent revocation, provided the person proves by clear and convincing evidence a minimum 3 years of uninterrupted sobriety from alcohol and other drugs and the successful completion of all rehabilitative activity recommended by a properly licensed service provider. Provides that the Secretary of State shall cancel a restricted driving permit issued under the conditions if the holder fails to comply with ignition interlock device requirements. Provides that a bona fide resident of a foreign jurisdiction who would be eligible for a restricted driving permit under the new provisions if the person were a resident of Illinois may make application for termination of the revocation after a period of 10 years from the effective date of the most recent revocation. Provides that if a person who has been granted a termination of revocation subsequently becomes a resident, the revocation shall be reinstated and the person shall be subject to the provisions concerning the issuance of a restricted driving permit.

Extends the time period before which a person may apply for a restricted driving permit from 3 years to 5 years from the effective date of the most recent revocation or 5 years from the date of release from a period of imprisonment resulting from a conviction of the most recent offense, whichever is later. Requires 3 years of uninterrupted sobriety to take place immediately prior to submitting the application for a restricted driving permit.
