15         2. Of any person when any other law of this State
16     requires either the revocation or suspension of a license
17     or permit.
18     (c) Whenever a person is convicted of any of the offenses
19 enumerated in this Section, the court may recommend and the
20 Secretary of State in his discretion, without regard to whether
21 the recommendation is made by the court may, upon application,
22 issue to the person a restricted driving permit granting the
23 privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the petitioner's
24 residence and petitioner's place of employment or within the
25 scope of the petitioner's employment related duties, or to
26 allow transportation for the petitioner or a household member

1 of the petitioner's family for the receipt of necessary medical
2 care or, if the professional evaluation indicates, provide
3 transportation for the petitioner for alcohol remedial or
4 rehabilitative activity, or for the petitioner to attend
5 classes, as a student, in an accredited educational
6 institution; if the petitioner is able to demonstrate that no
7 alternative means of transportation is reasonably available
8 and the petitioner will not endanger the public safety or
9 welfare; provided that the Secretary's discretion shall be
10 limited to cases where undue hardship would result from a
11 failure to issue the restricted driving permit.
12     If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
13 suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
14 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
15 or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of separate
16 occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
17 permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped
18 with an ignition interlock device as defined in Section
19 1-129.1.
20     If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
21 suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to a
22 single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code or a
23 similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
24 out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension under
25 Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary suspensions,
26 or combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense and a statutory

 

 

SB0172 Enrolled - 51 - LRB095 05286 DRH 26711 b

1 summary suspension, arising out of separate occurrences, that
2 person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate
3 a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
4 interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. The person must
5 pay to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
6 not to exceed $20 per month. The Secretary shall establish by
7 rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions
8 relating to these fees. If the restricted driving permit was
9 issued for employment purposes, then this provision does not
10 apply to the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or
11 leased by that person's employer. In each case the Secretary of
12 State may issue a restricted driving permit for a period he
13 deems appropriate, except that the permit shall expire within
14 one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not,
15 however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person whose
16 current revocation is the result of a second or subsequent
17 conviction for a violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a
18 similar provision of a local ordinance relating to the offense
19 of operating or being in physical control of a motor vehicle
20 while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
21 intoxicating compound or compounds, or any similar
22 out-of-state offense, or any combination thereof, until the
23 expiration of at least one year from the date of the
24 revocation. A restricted driving permit issued under this
25 Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation, and
26 suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and for

 

 

SB0172 Enrolled - 52 - LRB095 05286 DRH 26711 b

1 like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code may be
2 cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon
3 one or more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
4 movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for the
5 revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a restricted
6 driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
7 the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require the
8 applicant to participate in a designated driver remedial or
9 rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is authorized to
10 cancel a restricted driving permit if the permit holder does
11 not successfully complete the program. However, if an
12 individual's driving privileges have been revoked in
13 accordance with paragraph 13 of subsection (a) of this Section,
14 no restricted driving permit shall be issued until the
15 individual has served 6 months of the revocation period.
16     (d) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is convicted
17 under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
18 local ordinance, the Secretary of State shall revoke the
19 driving privileges of that person. One year after the date of
20 revocation, and upon application, the Secretary of State may,
21 if satisfied that the person applying will not endanger the
22 public safety or welfare, issue a restricted driving permit
23 granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle only between
24 the hours of 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. or as otherwise provided by this
25 Section for a period of one year. After this one year period,
26 and upon reapplication for a license as provided in Section

 

 

SB0172 Enrolled - 53 - LRB095 05286 DRH 26711 b

1 6-106, upon payment of the appropriate reinstatement fee
2 provided under paragraph (b) of Section 6-118, the Secretary of
3 State, in his discretion, may issue the applicant a license, or
4 extend the restricted driving permit as many times as the
5 Secretary of State deems appropriate, by additional periods of
6 not more than 12 months each, until the applicant attains 21
7 years of age.
8     If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
9 suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
10 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
11 or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of separate
12 occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
13 permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped
14 with an ignition interlock device as defined in Section
15 1-129.1.
16     If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
17 suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to a
18 single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code or a
19 similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
20 out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension under
21 Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary suspensions,
22 or combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense and a statutory
23 summary suspension, arising out of separate occurrences, that
24 person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate
25 a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
26 interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. The person must

 

 

SB0172 Enrolled - 54 - LRB095 05286 DRH 26711 b

1 pay to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
2 not to exceed $20 per month. The Secretary shall establish by
3 rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions
4 relating to these fees. If the restricted driving permit was
5 issued for employment purposes, then this provision does not
6 apply to the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or
7 leased by that person's employer. A restricted driving permit
8 issued under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
9 revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in like
10 manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued under
11 this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that
12 a conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
13 ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed
14 sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or
15 cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The revocation
16 periods contained in this subparagraph shall apply to similar
17 out-of-state convictions.
18     (e) This Section is subject to the provisions of the Driver
19 License Compact.
20     (f) Any revocation imposed upon any person under
21 subsections 2 and 3 of paragraph (b) that is in effect on
22 December 31, 1988 shall be converted to a suspension for a like
23 period of time.
24     (g) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
25 driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
26 driving privileges have been revoked under any provisions of

1 this Code.
2     (h) The Secretary of State shall require the use of
3 ignition interlock devices on all vehicles owned by an
4 individual who has been convicted of a second or subsequent
5 offense under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
6 provision of a local ordinance. The Secretary shall establish
7 by rule and regulation the procedures for certification and use
8 of the interlock system.
9     (i) The Secretary of State may not issue a restricted
10 driving permit for a period of one year after a second or
11 subsequent revocation of driving privileges under clause
12 (a)(2) of this Section; however, one year after the date of a
13 second or subsequent revocation of driving privileges under
14 clause (a)(2) of this Section, the Secretary of State may, upon
15 application, issue a restricted driving permit under the terms
16 and conditions of subsection (c).
17     (j) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of
18 State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the
19 operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a

9     necessary medical care and if the professional evaluation
10     indicates, provide transportation for alcohol remedial or

13     institution; if the petitioner is able to demonstrate that
14     no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
15     available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
16     safety or welfare.
17         If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
18     suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
19     11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local

24     in Section 1-129.1.
25         If a person's license or permit has been revoked or

25     relating to the offense of operating or being in physical

4     least one year from the date of the revocation. A
5     restricted driving permit issued under this Section shall
6     be subject to cancellation, revocation, and suspension by
7     the Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
8     a driver's license issued under this Code may be cancelled,
9     revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or
10     more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
11     movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
12     the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
13     restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a
14     condition to the issuance of a restricted driving permit,
15     require the applicant to participate in a designated driver
16     remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State
17     is authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
18     permit holder does not successfully complete the program.

15 changing Section 5-6-1 as follows:
 
16     (730 ILCS 5/5-6-1)  (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-1)
17     Sec. 5-6-1. Sentences of Probation and of Conditional
18 Discharge and Disposition of Supervision. The General Assembly
19 finds that in order to protect the public, the criminal justice
20 system must compel compliance with the conditions of probation
21 by responding to violations with swift, certain and fair
22 punishments and intermediate sanctions. The Chief Judge of each
23 circuit shall adopt a system of structured, intermediate
24 sanctions for violations of the terms and conditions of a

 

 

SB0172 Enrolled - 82 - LRB095 05286 DRH 26711 b

1 sentence of probation, conditional discharge or disposition of
2 supervision.
3     (a) Except where specifically prohibited by other
4 provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of
5 probation or conditional discharge upon an offender unless,
6 having regard to the nature and circumstance of the offense,
7 and to the history, character and condition of the offender,
8 the court is of the opinion that:
9         (1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is
10     necessary for the protection of the public; or
11         (2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate
12     the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be
13     inconsistent with the ends of justice; or
14         (3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or
15     consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted
16     into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug
17     Court Treatment Act is necessary for the protection of the
18     public and for the rehabilitation of the offender.
19     The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of
20 probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
21 probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
22 intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
23 circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the
24 sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision,
25 subject to the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of this Act.
26     (b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional

 

 

SB0172 Enrolled - 83 - LRB095 05286 DRH 26711 b

1 discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion that
2 neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic imprisonment
3 nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
4     (b-1) Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section do not apply
5 to a defendant charged with a misdemeanor or felony under the
6 Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide under Section 9-3 of
7 the Criminal Code of 1961 if the defendant within the past 12
8 months has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor
9 or felony under the Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide
10 under Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
11     (c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation
12 by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge or a
13 finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and the imposition
14 of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the
15 defendant, if the defendant is not charged with: (i) a Class A
16 misdemeanor, as defined by the following provisions of the
17 Criminal Code of 1961: Sections 11-9.1; 12-3.2; 12-15; 26-5;
18 31-1; 31-6; 31-7; subsections (b) and (c) of Section 21-1;
19 paragraph (1) through (5), (8), (10), and (11) of subsection
20 (a) of Section 24-1; (ii) a Class A misdemeanor violation of
21 Section 3.01, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care for Animals
22 Act; or (iii) felony. If the defendant is not barred from
23 receiving an order for supervision as provided in this
24 subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision after
25 considering the circumstances of the offense, and the history,
26 character and condition of the offender, if the court is of the

 

 

SB0172 Enrolled - 84 - LRB095 05286 DRH 26711 b

1 opinion that:
2         (1) the offender is not likely to commit further
3     crimes;
4         (2) the defendant and the public would be best served
5     if the defendant were not to receive a criminal record; and
6         (3) in the best interests of justice an order of
7     supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise
8     permitted under this Code.
9     (d) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a
10 defendant charged with violating Section 11-501 of the Illinois
11 Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance when
12 the defendant has previously been:
13         (1) convicted for a violation of Section 11-501 of the
14     Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local
15     ordinance or any similar law or ordinance of another state;
16     or
17         (2) assigned supervision for a violation of Section
18     11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision
19     of a local ordinance or any similar law or ordinance of
20     another state; or
21         (3) pleaded guilty to or stipulated to the facts
22     supporting a charge or a finding of guilty to a violation
23     of Section 11-503 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar
24     provision of a local ordinance or any similar law or
25     ordinance of another state, and the plea or stipulation was
26     the result of a plea agreement.
