8     license of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) of
9     this Section, a person's privilege to operate a vehicle as
10     an occupation shall not be suspended, provided an affidavit

14     which occurred while operating a commercial vehicle in

8     or continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an
9     order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,
10     rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of
11     suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the

19     necessary medical care and if the professional evaluation
20     indicates, provide transportation for alcohol remedial or
21     rehabilitative activity, or for the petitioner to attend
22     classes, as a student, in an accredited educational

26     safety or welfare.

33     been equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined
34     in Section 1-129.1.

1     single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code
2     or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
3     out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension

11     State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $20
12     per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount

14     fees. If the restricted driving permit was issued for
15     employment purposes, then this provision does not apply to
16     the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
17     that person's employer. In each case the Secretary may
18     issue a restricted driving permit for a period deemed
19     appropriate, except that all permits shall expire within
20     one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not,
21     however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person
22     whose current revocation is the result of a second or
23     subsequent conviction for a violation of Section 11-501 of
24     this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
25     relating to the offense of operating or being in physical
26     control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of
27     alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
28     compounds, or any similar out-of-state offense, or any
29     combination of those offenses, until the expiration of at
30     least one year from the date of the revocation. A
31     restricted driving permit issued under this Section shall
32     be subject to cancellation, revocation, and suspension by
33     the Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
34     a driver's license issued under this Code may be cancelled,
35     revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or
36     more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the

 

 

HB7015 Enrolled - 10 - LRB093 18262 DRH 43963 b

1     movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
2     the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
3     restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a
4     condition to the issuance of a restricted driving permit,
5     require the applicant to participate in a designated driver
6     remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State
7     is authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
8     permit holder does not successfully complete the program.

10 reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
11 whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he

13 provisions of this Section, require the applicant to
14 participate in a driver remedial education course and be
15 retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
