HB4328 - 4 - LRB093 18293 DRH 43996 b

1 of this subsection shall also apply to a truant minor in need
2 of supervision, an addicted minor, or a delinquent minor and
3 whose driver's license and privilege to drive a motor vehicle
4 has been ordered suspended for such times as determined by the
5 Court, but only until he or she attains 18 years of age. It
6 shall be the duty of the clerk of the court in which
7 adjudication is had within 10 days thereafter to forward to the
8 Secretary of State a report of the adjudication and the court
9 order requiring the Secretary of State to suspend the minor's
10 driver's license and driving privilege for such time as

13 the Secretary of State under this provision shall be processed
14 by the Secretary of State as if the cases had been adjudicated
15 in traffic or criminal court. However, information reported

31     11-503.6, and 11-504 shall be forwarded to the Secretary of

33     a violation of an offense defined as a serious traffic
34     violation in this Code or a similar provision of a local
35     ordinance committed by a person under the age of 21 years
36     shall be forwarded to the Secretary of State.

 

 

HB4328 - 5 - LRB093 18293 DRH 43996 b

1         (5) Reports of conviction under this Code and
2     sentencing hearings under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 in
3     an electronic format or a computer processible medium shall
4     be forwarded to the Secretary of State via the Supreme
5     Court in the form and format required by the Illinois
6     Supreme Court and established by a written agreement
7     between the Supreme Court and the Secretary of State. In
8     counties with a population over 300,000, instead of
9     forwarding reports to the Supreme Court, reports of
10     conviction under this Code and sentencing hearings under
11     the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 in an electronic format or a
12     computer processible medium may be forwarded to the
13     Secretary of State by the Circuit Court Clerk in a form and
14     format required by the Secretary of State and established
15     by written agreement between the Circuit Court Clerk and
16     the Secretary of State. Failure to forward the reports of
17     conviction or sentencing hearing under the Juvenile Court
18     Act of 1987 as required by this Section shall be deemed an
19     omission of duty and it shall be the duty of the several
20     State's Attorneys to enforce the requirements of this
21     Section.
22     (b) Whenever a restricted driving permit is forwarded to a
23 court, as a result of confiscation by a police officer pursuant
24 to the authority in Section 6-113(f), it shall be the duty of
25 the clerk, or judge, if the court has no clerk, to forward such
26 restricted driving permit and a facsimile of the officer's
27 citation to the Secretary of State as expeditiously as
28 practicable.
29     (c) For the purposes of this Code, a forfeiture of bail or
30 collateral deposited to secure a defendant's appearance in
31 court when forfeiture has not been vacated, or the failure of a
32 defendant to appear for trial after depositing his driver's
33 license in lieu of other bail, shall be equivalent to a
34 conviction.
35     (d) For the purpose of providing the Secretary of State
36 with records necessary to properly monitor and assess driver

6 a court order or court supervision, in relation to the driver's
7 arrest for a violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a
8 similar provision of a local ordinance. The clerk of the court
9 shall also forward to the Secretary, either on paper or in an
10 electronic format or a computer processible medium as required
11 under paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of this Section, any
12 disposition of court supervision for any traffic violation,

15 after disposition, or, if the driver is referred to a driver
16 remedial or rehabilitative program, within 10 days of the
17 driver's referral to that program. These reports received by
18 the Secretary of State, including those required to be
19 forwarded under paragraph (a)(4), shall be privileged
20 information, available only (i) to the affected driver and (ii)
21 for use by the courts, police officers, prosecuting
22 authorities, and the Secretary of State.

21 privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the petitioner's
22 residence and petitioner's place of employment or within the
23 scope of the petitioner's employment related duties, or to
24 allow transportation for the petitioner or a household member

32 and the petitioner will not endanger the public safety or
33 welfare; provided that the Secretary's discretion shall be

36     If a person's license or permit has been revoked or

 

 

HB4328 - 9 - LRB093 18293 DRH 43996 b

1 suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
2 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
3 or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of separate
4 occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
5 permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped
6 with an ignition interlock device as defined in Section
7 1-129.1.
8     If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
9 suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to a
10 single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code or a
11 similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
12 out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension under
13 Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary suspensions,
14 or combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense and a statutory
15 summary suspension, arising out of separate occurrences, that
16 person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate
17 a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
18 interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. The person must
19 pay to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
20 not to exceed $20 per month. The Secretary shall establish by
21 rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions
22 relating to these fees. If the restricted driving permit was
23 issued for employment purposes, then this provision does not
24 apply to the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or
25 leased by that person's employer. In each case the Secretary of
26 State may issue a restricted driving permit for a period he
27 deems appropriate, except that the permit shall expire within
28 one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not,
29 however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person whose
30 current revocation is the result of a second or subsequent

32 similar provision of a local ordinance relating to the offense
33 of operating or being in physical control of a motor vehicle
34 while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
35 intoxicating compound or compounds, or any similar
36 out-of-state offense, or any combination thereof, until the

 

 

HB4328 - 10 - LRB093 18293 DRH 43996 b

1 expiration of at least one year from the date of the
2 revocation. A restricted driving permit issued under this
3 Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation, and
4 suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and for
5 like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code may be
6 cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon
7 one or more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
8 movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for the
9 revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a restricted
10 driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
11 the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require the
12 applicant to participate in a designated driver remedial or
13 rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is authorized to
14 cancel a restricted driving permit if the permit holder does
15 not successfully complete the program. However, if an
16 individual's driving privileges have been revoked in
17 accordance with paragraph 13 of subsection (a) of this Section,
18 no restricted driving permit shall be issued until the
19 individual has served 6 months of the revocation period.
20     (d) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is convicted
21 under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
22 local ordinance, the Secretary of State shall revoke the
23 driving privileges of that person. One year after the date of
24 revocation, and upon application, the Secretary of State may,
25 if satisfied that the person applying will not endanger the
26 public safety or welfare, issue a restricted driving permit
27 granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle only between
28 the hours of 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. or as otherwise provided by this
29 Section for a period of one year. After this one year period,
30 and upon reapplication for a license as provided in Section
31 6-106, upon payment of the appropriate reinstatement fee
32 provided under paragraph (b) of Section 6-118, the Secretary of
33 State, in his discretion, may issue the applicant a license, or
34 extend the restricted driving permit as many times as the
35 Secretary of State deems appropriate, by additional periods of
36 not more than 12 months each, until the applicant attains 21

 

 

HB4328 - 11 - LRB093 18293 DRH 43996 b

1 years of age.
2     If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
3 suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
4 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
5 or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of separate
6 occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
7 permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped
8 with an ignition interlock device as defined in Section
9 1-129.1.
10     If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
11 suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to a
12 single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code or a
13 similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
14 out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension under
15 Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary suspensions,
16 or combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense and a statutory
17 summary suspension, arising out of separate occurrences, that
18 person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate
19 a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
20 interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. The person must
21 pay to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
22 not to exceed $20 per month. The Secretary shall establish by
23 rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions
24 relating to these fees. If the restricted driving permit was
25 issued for employment purposes, then this provision does not
26 apply to the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or
27 leased by that person's employer. A restricted driving permit
28 issued under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
29 revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in like
30 manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued under
31 this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that
32 a conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
33 ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed
34 sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or

31     order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,
32     rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of
33     suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the
34     order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue
35     hardship, issue a restricted driving permit granting the

17     separate occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
18     driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
19     been equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined
20     in Section 1-129.1.
21         If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
22     suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to a
23     single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code
24     or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
25     out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension
26     under Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary
27     suspensions, or combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense
28     and a statutory summary suspension, arising out of separate
29     occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
30     permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been

33     State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $20

36     fees. If the restricted driving permit was issued for

 

 

HB4328 - 21 - LRB093 18293 DRH 43996 b

1     employment purposes, then this provision does not apply to
2     the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
3     that person's employer. In each case the Secretary may
4     issue a restricted driving permit for a period deemed
5     appropriate, except that all permits shall expire within
6     one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not,
7     however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person
8     whose current revocation is the result of a second or
9     subsequent conviction for a violation of Section 11-501 of
10     this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
11     relating to the offense of operating or being in physical
12     control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of
13     alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
14     compounds, or any similar out-of-state offense, or any
15     combination of those offenses, until the expiration of at
16     least one year from the date of the revocation. A
17     restricted driving permit issued under this Section shall
18     be subject to cancellation, revocation, and suspension by
19     the Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
20     a driver's license issued under this Code may be cancelled,
21     revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or
22     more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
23     movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
24     the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
25     restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a
26     condition to the issuance of a restricted driving permit,
27     require the applicant to participate in a designated driver
28     remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State
29     is authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
30     permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
31     (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
32 reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
33 whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
