and 27 of this subsection, license means any driver's license,
any traffic ticket issued when the person's driver's license is
deposited in lieu of bail, a suspension notice issued by the
Secretary of State, a duplicate or corrected driver's license,
a probationary driver's license or a temporary driver's
license.
    (b) If any conviction forming the basis of a suspension or
revocation authorized under this Section is appealed, the
Secretary of State may rescind or withhold the entry of the
order of suspension or revocation, as the case may be, provided
that a certified copy of a stay order of a court is filed with
the Secretary of State. If the conviction is affirmed on
appeal, the date of the conviction shall relate back to the
time the original judgment of conviction was entered and the 6
month limitation prescribed shall not apply.
     (c) 1. Upon suspending or revoking the driver's license or
permit of any person as authorized in this Section, the
Secretary of State shall immediately notify the person in
writing of the revocation or suspension. The notice to be
deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, to
the last known address of the person.
        2. If the Secretary of State suspends the driver's
license of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) of
this Section, a person's privilege to operate a vehicle as
an occupation shall not be suspended, provided an affidavit
is properly completed, the appropriate fee received, and a
permit issued prior to the effective date of the
suspension, unless 5 offenses were committed, at least 2 of
which occurred while operating a commercial vehicle in
connection with the driver's regular occupation. All other
driving privileges shall be suspended by the Secretary of
State. Any driver prior to operating a vehicle for
occupational purposes only must submit the affidavit on
forms to be provided by the Secretary of State setting
forth the facts of the person's occupation. The affidavit
shall also state the number of offenses committed while
operating a vehicle in connection with the driver's regular
occupation. The affidavit shall be accompanied by the
driver's license. Upon receipt of a properly completed
affidavit, the Secretary of State shall issue the driver a
permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the driver's
regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the
Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the
privilege to drive any motor vehicle shall be suspended as
set forth in the notice that was mailed under this Section.
If an affidavit is received subsequent to the effective
date of this suspension, a permit may be issued for the
remainder of the suspension period.
        The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to
any driver required to obtain a commercial driver's license
under Section 6-507 during the period of a disqualification
of commercial driving privileges under Section 6-514.
        Any person who falsely states any fact in the affidavit
required herein shall be guilty of perjury under Section
6-302 and upon conviction thereof shall have all driving
privileges revoked without further rights.
        3. At the conclusion of a hearing under Section 2-118
of this Code, the Secretary of State shall either rescind
or continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an
order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,
rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of
suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the
order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue
hardship, issue a restricted driving permit granting the
privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the
petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of
employment or within the scope of his employment related
duties, or to allow transportation for the petitioner, or a
household member of the petitioner's family, to receive
necessary medical care and if the professional evaluation
indicates, provide transportation for alcohol remedial or
rehabilitative activity, or for the petitioner to attend
classes, as a student, in an accredited educational
institution; if the petitioner is able to demonstrate that
no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
safety or welfare.
        If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of
separate occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
been equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined
in Section 1-129.1.
        If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to a
single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code
or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension
under Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary
suspensions, or combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense
and a statutory summary suspension, arising out of separate
occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been
equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined in
Section 1-129.1. The person must pay to the Secretary of
State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $20
per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount
and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these
fees. If the restricted driving permit was issued for
employment purposes, then this provision does not apply to
the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
that person's employer. In each case the Secretary may
issue a restricted driving permit for a period deemed
appropriate, except that all permits shall expire within
one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not,
however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person
whose current revocation is the result of a second or
subsequent conviction for a violation of Section 11-501 of
this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
relating to the offense of operating or being in physical
control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of
alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
compounds, or any similar out-of-state offense, or any
combination of those offenses, until the expiration of at
least one year from the date of the revocation. A
restricted driving permit issued under this Section shall
be subject to cancellation, revocation, and suspension by
the Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
a driver's license issued under this Code may be cancelled,
revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or
more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a
condition to the issuance of a restricted driving permit,
require the applicant to participate in a designated driver
remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State
is authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
    (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
or she reached the age of 18 years pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section, require the applicant to
participate in a driver remedial education course and be
retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
    (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the
Drivers License Compact.
    (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any
provisions of this Code.
