27        license  under  Section  6-507  during  the  period  of a
28        disqualification of commercial driving  privileges  under
29        Section 6-514.
30             Any  person  who  falsely  states  any  fact  in the
31        affidavit required herein  shall  be  guilty  of  perjury
32        under  Section  6-302  and  upon conviction thereof shall
33        have  all  driving  privileges  revoked  without  further
34        rights.

 1             3.  At the conclusion of  a  hearing  under  Section
 2        2-118  of  this Code, the Secretary of State shall either
 3        rescind or continue  an  order  of  revocation  or  shall
 4        substitute   an  order  of  suspension;  or,  good  cause
 5        appearing therefor, rescind, continue, change, or  extend
 6        the  order of suspension.  If the Secretary of State does
 7        not  rescind  the   order,   the   Secretary   may   upon
 8        application,   to   relieve   undue   hardship,  issue  a
 9        restricted  driving  permit  granting  the  privilege  of
10        driving  a  motor  vehicle   between   the   petitioner's
11        residence  and petitioner's place of employment or within
12        the scope of his employment related duties, or  to  allow
13        transportation  for the petitioner, or a household member
14        of the petitioner's family, to receive necessary  medical
15        care   and  if  the  professional  evaluation  indicates,
16        provide   transportation   for   alcohol   remedial    or
17        rehabilitative  activity, or for the petitioner to attend
18        classes, as  a  student,  in  an  accredited  educational
19        institution;  if  the  petitioner  is able to demonstrate
20        that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
21        available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
22        safety or welfare.
23             If a person's license or permit has been revoked  or
24        suspended  due  to  2  or  more  convictions of violating
25        Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision  of  a
26        local   ordinance  or  a  similar  out-of-state  offense,
27        arising out of  separate  occurrences,  that  person,  if
28        issued  a  restricted  driving  permit, may not operate a
29        vehicle unless it has  been  equipped  with  an  ignition
30        interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
31             If  a person's license or permit has been revoked or
32        suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due  to
33        a  single  conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this
34        Code or a similar provision of a  local  ordinance  or  a
 
                            -11-     LRB093 13685 RAS 19075 b
 1        similar  out-of-state  offense,  and  a statutory summary
 2        suspension under Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory
 3        summary suspensions, or combination of 2 offenses, or  of
 4        an  offense  and  a statutory summary suspension, arising
 5        out of separate occurrences, that  person,  if  issued  a
 6        restricted  driving  permit,  may  not  operate a vehicle
 7        unless it has been equipped with  an  ignition  interlock
 8        device  as  defined  in Section 1-129.1.  The person must
 9        pay to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund  an
10        amount  not to exceed $20 per month.  The Secretary shall
11        establish by rule the amount and the  procedures,  terms,
12        and conditions relating to these fees.  If the restricted
13        driving  permit  was issued for employment purposes, then
14        this provision does not apply  to  the  operation  of  an
15        occupational  vehicle  owned  or  leased by that person's
16        employer.   In  each  case  the  Secretary  may  issue  a
17        restricted   driving   permit   for   a   period   deemed
18        appropriate, except that all permits shall expire  within
19        one  year  from  the date of issuance.  The Secretary may
20        not, however, issue a restricted driving  permit  to  any
21        person whose current revocation is the result of a second
22        or  subsequent  conviction  for  a  violation  of Section
23        11-501 of this Code or a similar  provision  of  a  local
24        ordinance  relating  to the offense of operating or being
25        in physical control of a motor vehicle  while  under  the
26        influence  of  alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating
27        compound  or  compounds,  or  any  similar   out-of-state
28        offense,  or any combination of those offenses, until the
29        expiration of at least one year  from  the  date  of  the
30        revocation.   A  restricted  driving  permit issued under
31        this  Section   shall   be   subject   to   cancellation,
32        revocation,  and  suspension by the Secretary of State in
33        like manner and for like  cause  as  a  driver's  license
34        issued  under  this  Code  may  be cancelled, revoked, or
 
                            -12-     LRB093 13685 RAS 19075 b
 1        suspended; except that a  conviction  upon  one  or  more
 2        offenses   against  laws  or  ordinances  regulating  the
 3        movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause  for
 4        the   revocation,   suspension,   or  cancellation  of  a
 5        restricted driving permit.  The Secretary of  State  may,
 6        as  a  condition  to the issuance of a restricted driving
 7        permit,  require  the  applicant  to  participate  in   a
 8        designated  driver  remedial  or  rehabilitative program.
 9        The  Secretary  of  State  is  authorized  to  cancel   a
10        restricted  driving  permit if the permit holder does not
11        successfully complete the program.
12        (c-5)  The Secretary of State may, as a condition of  the
13    reissuance  of  a  driver's license or permit to an applicant
14    whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
15    or she reached the age of 18 years pursuant  to  any  of  the
16    provisions   of   this  Section,  require  the  applicant  to
17    participate in a driver  remedial  education  course  and  be
18    retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
19        (d)  This  Section  is  subject  to the provisions of the
20    Drivers License Compact.
21        (e)  The Secretary of State shall not issue a  restricted
22    driving  permit  to  a person under the age of 16 years whose
23    driving privileges have been suspended or revoked  under  any
24    provisions of this Code.
