3    operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
4    ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation
5    of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that person's
6    employer when used solely for employment purposes. For any
7    person who, within a 5-year period, is convicted of a
8    second or subsequent offense under Section 11-501 of this
9    Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance or
10    similar out-of-state offense, this employment exemption
11    does not apply until either a one-year period has elapsed

13    revoked or a one-year period has elapsed during which that
14    person had a restricted driving permit which required the
15    use of an ignition interlock device on every motor vehicle
16    owned or operated by that person.
17        (6) In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
18    restricted driving permit for a period he deems
19    appropriate, except that the permit shall expire within one
20    year from the date of issuance. A restricted driving permit
21    issued under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
22    revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
23    like manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued
24    under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended;
25    except that a conviction upon one or more offenses against
26    laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall

 

 

SB2955- 11 -LRB100 13542 AXK 28159 b

1    be deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension,
2    or cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The
3    Secretary of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a
4    restricted driving permit, require the petitioner to
5    participate in a designated driver remedial or
6    rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is
7    authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
8    permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
9    However, if an individual's driving privileges have been
10    revoked in accordance with paragraph 13 of subsection (a)
11    of this Section, no restricted driving permit shall be
12    issued until the individual has served 6 months of the
13    revocation period.

16operating a motor vehicle while the person's driver's license,

18violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
19Criminal Code of 2012 relating to the offense of reckless
20homicide or a similar out-of-state offense, the person's
21driving privileges shall be revoked pursuant to subdivision
22(a)(15) of this Section. The person may not make application
23for a license or permit until the expiration of five years from
24the effective date of the revocation or the expiration of five
25years from the date of release from a term of imprisonment,
26whichever is later.

1    (c-7) If a person is convicted of a third or subsequent
2violation of operating a motor vehicle while the person's
3driver's license, permit or privilege was revoked, where the
4revocation was for a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
5Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 relating to the
6offense of reckless homicide or a similar out-of-state offense,
7the person may never apply for a license or permit.
8    (d)(1) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is convicted
9under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
10local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, the
11Secretary of State shall revoke the driving privileges of that
12person. One year after the date of revocation, and upon
13application, the Secretary of State may, if satisfied that the
14person applying will not endanger the public safety or welfare,
15issue a restricted driving permit granting the privilege of
16driving a motor vehicle only between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9
17p.m. or as otherwise provided by this Section for a period of
18one year. After this one-year period, and upon reapplication
19for a license as provided in Section 6-106, upon payment of the
20appropriate reinstatement fee provided under paragraph (b) of
21Section 6-118, the Secretary of State, in his discretion, may
22reinstate the petitioner's driver's license and driving
23privileges, or extend the restricted driving permit as many
24times as the Secretary of State deems appropriate, by
25additional periods of not more than 12 months each.

7    or a combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
8    occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
9    permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been

14    the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these
15    fees.
16        (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for

13    revoked or a one-year period has elapsed during which that
14    person had a restricted driving permit which required the
15    use of an ignition interlock device on every motor vehicle

24    be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
25    conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
26    ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be

 

 

SB2955- 32 -LRB100 13542 AXK 28159 b

1    deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or
2    cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The Secretary
3    of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a
4    restricted driving permit, require the applicant to
5    participate in a designated driver remedial or
6    rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is
7    authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
8    permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
9        (F) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4
10    of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make
11    application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing
12    conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the
13    expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most
14    recent revocation or after 5 years from the date of release
15    from a period of imprisonment resulting from a conviction
16    of the most recent offense, whichever is later, provided
17    the person, in addition to all other requirements of the
18    Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence:
19            (i) a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted
20        abstinence from alcohol and the unlawful use or
21        consumption of cannabis under the Cannabis Control
22        Act, a controlled substance under the Illinois

2        rehabilitative treatment and involvement in any
3        ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be
4        recommended by a properly licensed service provider
5        according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or
6        drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code.
7        In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a
8    restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F), the
9    Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including,
10    but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and the
11    results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons subject
12    to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b) of
13    Section 6-208 of this Code and who have been convicted of
14    more than one violation of paragraph (3), paragraph (4), or
15    paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section 11-501 of this
16    Code shall not be eligible to apply for a restricted
17    driving permit under this subparagraph (F).
18        A restricted driving permit issued under this
19    subparagraph (F) shall provide that the holder may only
20    operate motor vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock
21    device as required under paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of
22    Section 6-205 of this Code and subparagraph (A) of
23    paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of this Section. The
24    Secretary may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend
25    the conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under
26    this subparagraph (F) if the holder operates a vehicle that

 

 

SB2955- 34 -LRB100 13542 AXK 28159 b

1    is not equipped with an ignition interlock device, or for
2    any other reason authorized under this Code.
3        A restricted driving permit issued under this
4    subparagraph (F) shall be revoked, and the holder barred
5    from applying for or being issued a restricted driving
6    permit in the future, if the holder is convicted of a
7    violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, a similar
8    provision of a local ordinance, or a similar offense in
9    another state.
10    (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
11subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State
12under this Section shall, except during the actual time the
13suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use
