        1. Reckless homicide resulting from the operation of a
    motor vehicle;
        2. Violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a

    Code or under any other law relating to the ownership or

    relating to the unlawful operation of a commercial motor

        13. Violation of paragraph (a) of Section 11-502 of
    this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance if

    that Section or a similar provision of a local ordinance
    and the driver was less than 21 years of age at the time of

        14. Violation of paragraph (a) of Section 11-506 of
    this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
    relating to the offense of street racing;

    offense;
        16. Any offense against any provision in this Code, or
    any local ordinance, regulating the movement of traffic
    when that offense was the proximate cause of the death of
    any person. Any person whose driving privileges have been
    revoked pursuant to this paragraph may seek to have the
    revocation terminated or to have the length of revocation
    reduced by requesting an administrative hearing with the
    Secretary of State prior to the projected driver's license
    application eligibility date;
        17. Violation of subsection (a-2) of Section 11-1301.3
    of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance;

    as a driver, of a motor vehicle, of any controlled
    substance prohibited under the Illinois Controlled
    Substances Act, any cannabis prohibited under the Cannabis
    Control Act, or any methamphetamine prohibited under the
    Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act. A
    defendant found guilty of this offense while operating a
    motor vehicle shall have an entry made in the court record
    by the presiding judge that this offense did occur while
    the defendant was operating a motor vehicle and order the
    clerk of the court to report the violation to the Secretary
    of State.
    (b) The Secretary of State shall also immediately revoke
the license or permit of any driver in the following
situations:
        1. Of any minor upon receiving the notice provided for
    in Section 5-901 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 that the
    minor has been adjudicated under that Act as having
    committed an offense relating to motor vehicles prescribed
    in Section 4-103 of this Code;
        2. Of any person when any other law of this State
    requires either the revocation or suspension of a license
    or permit;
        3. Of any person adjudicated under the Juvenile Court
    Act of 1987 based on an offense determined to have been
    committed in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
    organized gang as provided in Section 5-710 of that Act,
    and that involved the operation or use of a motor vehicle
    or the use of a driver's license or permit. The revocation
    shall remain in effect for the period determined by the
    court. Upon the direction of the court, the Secretary shall
    issue the person a judicial driving permit, also known as a
    JDP. The JDP shall be subject to the same terms as a JDP
    issued under Section 6-206.1, except that the court may
    direct that a JDP issued under this subdivision (b)(3) be
    effective immediately.
    (c)(1) Whenever a person is convicted of any of the
offenses enumerated in this Section, the court may recommend
and the Secretary of State in his discretion, without regard to
whether the recommendation is made by the court may, upon
application, issue to the person 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 the petitioner's employment related duties,
or to allow the petitioner to transport himself or herself or a
family member of the petitioner's household to a medical
facility for the receipt of necessary medical care or to allow
the petitioner to transport himself or herself to and from
alcohol or drug remedial or rehabilitative activity
recommended by a licensed service provider, or to allow the
petitioner to transport himself or herself or a family member
of the petitioner's household to classes, as a student, at an
accredited educational institution, or to allow the petitioner
to transport children, elderly persons, or disabled persons who
do not hold driving privileges and are living in the
petitioner's household to and from daycare; if the petitioner
is able to demonstrate that no alternative means of
transportation is reasonably available and that the petitioner
will not endanger the public safety or welfare; provided that
the Secretary's discretion shall be limited to cases where
undue hardship, as defined by the rules of the Secretary of
State, would result from a failure to issue the restricted
driving permit. Those multiple offenders identified in
subdivision (b)4 of Section 6-208 of this Code, however, shall
not be eligible for the issuance of a restricted driving
permit.
        (2) If a person's license or permit is 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, or Section 9-3
    of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012,
    where the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
    element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense,
    or a combination of these offenses, 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.
        (3) If:
            (A) a person's license or permit is revoked or
        suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due
        to any combination of:
                (i) 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,
            or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
            Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or
            other drugs is recited as an element of the
            offense, or a similar out-of-state offense; or
                (ii) a statutory summary suspension or
            revocation under Section 11-501.1; or
                (iii) a suspension pursuant to Section
            6-203.1;
        arising out of separate occurrences; or
            (B) a person has been convicted of one violation of
        Section 6-303 of this Code committed while his or her
        driver's license, permit, or privilege was revoked
        because of a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
        Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, relating to
        the offense of reckless homicide where the use of
        alcohol or other drugs was recited as an element of the
        offense, or a similar provision of a law of another
        state;
    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.
        (4) The person issued a permit conditioned on the use
    of an ignition interlock device must pay to the Secretary
    of State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed
    $30 per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the
    amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating
    to these fees.
        (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
    employment purposes, then the prohibition against
    operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
    ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation
    of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that person's
    employer when used solely for employment purposes.
        (6) In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
    restricted driving permit for a period he deems
    appropriate, except that the permit 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 or
    any similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the
    Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, where
    the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element
    of the offense, or any similar out-of-state offense, or any
    combination of these 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 petitioner 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. However, if an individual's driving
    privileges have been revoked in accordance with paragraph
    13 of subsection (a) of this Section, no restricted driving
    permit shall be issued until the individual has served 6
    months of the revocation period.
    (c-5) (Blank).
    (c-6) If a person is convicted of a second violation of
operating a motor vehicle while the person's driver's license,
permit or privilege was revoked, where the revocation was for a
violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
Criminal Code of 2012 relating to the offense of reckless
homicide or a similar out-of-state offense, the person's
driving privileges shall be revoked pursuant to subdivision
(a)(15) of this Section. The person may not make application
for a license or permit until the expiration of five years from
the effective date of the revocation or the expiration of five
years from the date of release from a term of imprisonment,
whichever is later.
    (c-7) If a person is convicted of a third or subsequent
violation of operating a motor vehicle while the person's
driver's license, permit or privilege was revoked, where the
revocation was for a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 relating to the
offense of reckless homicide or a similar out-of-state offense,
the person may never apply for a license or permit.
    (d)(1) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is convicted
under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, the
Secretary of State shall revoke the driving privileges of that
person. One year after the date of revocation, and upon
application, the Secretary of State may, if satisfied that the
person applying will not endanger the public safety or welfare,
issue a restricted driving permit granting the privilege of
driving a motor vehicle only between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9
p.m. or as otherwise provided by this Section for a period of
one year. After this one year period, and upon reapplication
for a license as provided in Section 6-106, upon payment of the
appropriate reinstatement fee provided under paragraph (b) of
Section 6-118, the Secretary of State, in his discretion, may
reinstate the petitioner's driver's license and driving
privileges, or extend the restricted driving permit as many
times as the Secretary of State deems appropriate, by
additional periods of not more than 12 months each.
        (2) If a person's license or permit is 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, or Section 9-3
    of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012,
    where the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
    element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense,
    or a combination of these offenses, 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.
        (3) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
    suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to
    any combination of:
            (A) 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, or
        Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
        Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or
        other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or
        a similar out-of-state offense; or
            (B) a statutory summary suspension or revocation
        under Section 11-501.1; or
            (C) a suspension pursuant to Section 6-203.1;
    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.
        (4) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the use
    of an interlock device must pay to the Secretary of State
    DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $30 per
    month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount and
    the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these
    fees.
        (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
    employment purposes, then the prohibition against driving
    a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock
    device does not apply to the operation of an occupational
    vehicle owned or leased by that person's employer when used
    solely for employment purposes.
        (6) 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.
    (d-5) The revocation of the license, permit, or driving
privileges of a person convicted of a third or subsequent
violation of Section 6-303 of this Code committed while his or
her driver's license, permit, or privilege was revoked because
of a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or
the Criminal Code of 2012, relating to the offense of reckless
homicide, or a similar provision of a law of another state, is
permanent. The Secretary may not, at any time, issue a license
or permit to that person.
    (e) This Section is subject to the provisions of the Driver
License Compact.
    (f) Any revocation imposed upon any person under
subsections 2 and 3 of paragraph (b) that is in effect on
December 31, 1988 shall be converted to a suspension for a like
period of time.
    (g) 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 revoked under any provisions of
this Code.
    (h) The Secretary of State shall require the use of
ignition interlock devices on all vehicles owned by a person
who has been convicted of a second or subsequent offense under
Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance. The person must pay to the Secretary of State DUI
Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $30 for each month
that he or she uses the device. The Secretary shall establish
by rule and regulation the procedures for certification and use
of the interlock system, the amount of the fee, and the
procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these fees.
    (i) (Blank).
    (j) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of
State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the
operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a
CDL whose driving privileges have been revoked, suspended,
cancelled, or disqualified under any provisions of this Code.
    (k) The Secretary of State shall notify by mail any person
whose driving privileges have been revoked under paragraph 16
of subsection (a) of this Section that his or her driving
privileges and driver's license will be revoked 90 days from
the date of the mailing of the notice.
