24 performance and assist the courts in the proper disposition of
25 repeat traffic law offenders, the clerk of the court shall

9     license of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) of
10     this Section, a person's privilege to operate a vehicle as
11     an occupation shall not be suspended, provided an affidavit

15     which occurred while operating a commercial vehicle in
16     connection with the driver's regular occupation. All other
17     driving privileges shall be suspended by the Secretary of
18     State. Any driver prior to operating a vehicle for

5     set forth in the notice that was mailed under this Section.
6     If an affidavit is received subsequent to the effective
7     date of this suspension, a permit may be issued for the
8     remainder of the suspension period.
9         The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to
10     any driver required to possess a CDL for the purpose of
11     operating a commercial motor vehicle.
12         Any person who falsely states any fact in the affidavit
13     required herein shall be guilty of perjury under Section
14     6-302 and upon conviction thereof shall have all driving
15     privileges revoked without further rights.
16         3. At the conclusion of a hearing under Section 2-118
17     of this Code, the Secretary of State shall either rescind
18     or continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an
19     order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,
20     rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of
21     suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the
22     order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue
23     hardship (as defined by the rules of the Secretary of
24     State), issue a restricted driving permit granting the
25     privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the
26     petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of

 

 

09600HB5720ham001 - 22 - LRB096 20267 AJT 37744 a

2     employment related duties, or to allow the petitioner to
3     transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
4     petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive
5     necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to
6     transport himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug
7     remedial or rehabilitative activity recommended by a
8     licensed service provider, or to allow the petitioner to
9     transport himself or herself or a family member of the
10     petitioner's household to classes, as a student, at an
11     accredited educational institution, or to allow the
12     petitioner to transport children living in the
13     petitioner's household to and from daycare. The petitioner
14     must demonstrate that no alternative means of
15     transportation is reasonably available and that the
16     petitioner will not endanger the public safety or welfare.
17     Those multiple offenders identified in subdivision (b)4 of
18     Section 6-208 of this Code, however, shall not be eligible
19     for the issuance of a restricted driving permit.
20              (A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
21         suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating
22         Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
23         local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
24         Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
25         of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
26         the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a

 

 

09600HB5720ham001 - 23 - LRB096 20267 AJT 37744 a

1         combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
2         occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
3         driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
4         been equipped with an ignition interlock device as
5         defined in Section 1-129.1.
6             (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
7         suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due
8         to any combination of:
9                 (i) a single conviction of violating Section
10             11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
11             local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense
12             or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where
13             the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
14             element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state
15             offense; or
16                 (ii) a statutory summary suspension under
17             Section 11-501.1; or
18                 (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
19         arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if
20         issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
21         vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
22         interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
23             (C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the
24         use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the
25         Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
26         not to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall

 

 

09600HB5720ham001 - 24 - LRB096 20267 AJT 37744 a

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

 

 

09600HB5720ham001 - 25 - LRB096 20267 AJT 37744 a

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

3 subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person
4 by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license
5 will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of
6 the notice.
7     (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
8 reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
9 whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
10 or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of the
11 provisions of this Section, require the applicant to
12 participate in a driver remedial education course and be
13 retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
14     (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the
15 Drivers License Compact.

17 driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
18 driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any
19 provisions of this Code.
