20 Secretary of State shall immediately notify the person in
21 writing of the revocation or suspension. The notice to be

30 suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the
31 order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue
32 hardship, issue a restricted driving permit granting the
33 privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the
34 petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of

 

 

09300HB4337ham002 - 9 - LRB093 16576 DRH 49081 a

8 institution; if the petitioner is able to demonstrate that
9 no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
10 available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
11 safety or welfare.

13 suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
14 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
15 ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of
16 separate occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
17 driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
18 been equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined
19 in Section 1-129.1.
20         If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
21 suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to a
22 single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code
23 or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
24 out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension
25 under Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary
26 suspensions, or combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense
27 and a statutory summary suspension, arising out of separate
28 occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
29 permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been
30 equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined in
31 Section 1-129.1. The person must pay to the Secretary of
32 State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $20
33 per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount

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