6 reasonably available and that the petitioner will not endanger
7 the public safety or welfare; provided that the Secretary's
8 discretion shall be limited to cases where undue hardship, as

18     of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or
19     other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or a
20     similar out-of-state offense, or a combination of these
21     offenses, arising out of separate occurrences, that
22     person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
23     operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
24     ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
25         (3) If:
26             (A) a person's license or permit is revoked or

 

 

HB4859 - 6 - LRB096 16577 AJT 32175 b

1         suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due
2         to any combination of:
3                 (i) a single conviction of violating Section
4             11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
5             local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense,
6             or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where

11             Section 11-501.1; or
12                 (iii) a suspension pursuant to Section

15             (B) a person has been convicted of one violation of
16         Section 6-303 of this Code committed while his or her
17         driver's license, permit, or privilege was revoked
18         because of a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
19         Code of 1961, relating to the offense of reckless
20         homicide where the use of alcohol or other drugs was
21         recited as an element of the offense, or a similar
22         provision of a law of another state;
23     that person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
24     operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
25     ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
26         (4) The person issued a permit conditioned on the use

 

 

HB4859 - 7 - LRB096 16577 AJT 32175 b

1     of an ignition interlock device must pay to the Secretary
2     of State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed
3     $30 per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the
4     amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating
5     to these fees.
6         (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
7     employment purposes, then the prohibition against
8     operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
9     ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation
10     of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that person's
11     employer when used solely for employment purposes.
12         (6) In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
13     restricted driving permit for a period he deems
14     appropriate, except that the permit shall expire within one
15     year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not,
16     however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person
17     whose current revocation is the result of a second or
18     subsequent conviction for a violation of Section 11-501 of
19     this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance or
20     any similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the
21     Criminal Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or other
22     drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or any
23     similar out-of-state offense, or any combination of these
24     offenses, until the expiration of at least one year from
25     the date of the revocation. A restricted driving permit
26     issued under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,

 

 

HB4859 - 8 - LRB096 16577 AJT 32175 b

1     revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
2     like manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued
3     under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended;
4     except that a conviction upon one or more offenses against
5     laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall
6     be deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension,
7     or cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The
8     Secretary of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a
9     restricted driving permit, require the petitioner to
10     participate in a designated driver remedial or
11     rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is
12     authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
13     permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
14     However, if an individual's driving privileges have been
15     revoked in accordance with paragraph 13 of subsection (a)
16     of this Section, no restricted driving permit shall be
17     issued until the individual has served 6 months of the
18     revocation period.

20     (c-6) If a person is convicted of a second violation of
21 operating a motor vehicle while the person's driver's license,
22 permit or privilege was revoked, where the revocation was for a
23 violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating
24 to the offense of reckless homicide or a similar out-of-state
25 offense, the person's driving privileges shall be revoked
26 pursuant to subdivision (a)(15) of this Section. The person may

 

 

HB4859 - 9 - LRB096 16577 AJT 32175 b

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

1 privileges, or extend the restricted driving permit as many
2 times as the Secretary of State deems appropriate, by
3 additional periods of not more than 12 months each.
4         (2) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
5     suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
6     11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
7     ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3
8     of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or
9     other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or a
10     similar out-of-state offense, or a combination of these
11     offenses, arising out of separate occurrences, that
12     person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
13     operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
14     ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
15         (3) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
16     suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to
17     any combination of:
18             (A) a single conviction of violating Section
19         11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
20         ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
21         Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
22         of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
23         the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense; or

25         11-501.1; or

2     a restricted driving permit, may not operate a vehicle
3     unless it has been equipped with an ignition interlock
4     device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
5         (4) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the use
6     of an interlock device must pay to the Secretary of State
7     DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $30 per
8     month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount and
9     the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these
10     fees.
11         (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
12     employment purposes, then the prohibition against driving
13     a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock
14     device does not apply to the operation of an occupational
15     vehicle owned or leased by that person's employer when used
16     solely for employment purposes.
17         (6) A restricted driving permit issued under this
18     Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation, and
19     suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and for
20     like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code may
21     be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
22     conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or

4     driving privileges shall be suspended by the Secretary of
5     State. Any driver prior to operating a vehicle for

7     forms to be provided by the Secretary of State setting

14     permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the driver's
15     regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the
16     Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the

23     any driver required to possess a CDL for the purpose of
24     operating a commercial motor vehicle.

4     of this Code, the Secretary of State shall either rescind
5     or continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an
6     order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,
7     rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of
8     suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the
9     order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue
10     hardship (as defined by the rules of the Secretary of
11     State), issue a restricted driving permit granting the
12     privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the
13     petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of
14     employment or within the scope of the petitioner's
15     employment related duties, or to allow the petitioner to
16     transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
17     petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive
18     necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to
19     transport himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug
20     remedial or rehabilitative activity recommended by a
21     licensed service provider, or to allow the petitioner to
22     transport himself or herself or a family member of the
23     petitioner's household to classes, as a student, at an
24     accredited educational institution, or to allow the
25     petitioner to transport children, elderly persons, or
26     disabled persons who do not hold driving privileges and are

 

 

HB4859 - 25 - LRB096 16577 AJT 32175 b

1     living in the petitioner's household to and from daycare.
2     The petitioner must demonstrate that no alternative means
3     of transportation is reasonably available and that the
4     petitioner will not endanger the public safety or welfare.
5     Those multiple offenders identified in subdivision (b)4 of
6     Section 6-208 of this Code, however, shall not be eligible
7     for the issuance of a restricted driving permit.
8              (A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
9         suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating
10         Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
11         local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
12         Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
13         of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
14         the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a
15         combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
16         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
19         defined in Section 1-129.1.
20             (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
21         suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due
22         to any combination of:
23                 (i) a single conviction of violating Section
24             11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
25             local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense
26             or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where

 

 

HB4859 - 26 - LRB096 16577 AJT 32175 b

1             the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
2             element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state
3             offense; or
4                 (ii) a statutory summary suspension under
5             Section 11-501.1; or
6                 (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
7         arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if
8         issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
9         vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
10         interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
11             (C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the
12         use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the
13         Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
14         not to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall
15         establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,
16         and conditions relating to these fees.
17             (D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
18         employment purposes, then the prohibition against
19         operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
20         ignition interlock device does not apply to the
21         operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
22         that person's employer when used solely for employment
23         purposes.
24             (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
25         restricted driving permit for a period deemed
26         appropriate, except that all permits shall expire

 

 

HB4859 - 27 - LRB096 16577 AJT 32175 b

1         within one year from the date of issuance. The
2         Secretary may not, however, issue a restricted driving
3         permit to any person whose current revocation is the
4         result of a second or subsequent conviction for a
5         violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
6         provision of a local ordinance or any similar
7         out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal
8         Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or other drugs
9         is recited as an element of the offense, or any similar
10         out-of-state offense, or any combination of those
11         offenses, until the expiration of at least one year
12         from the date of the revocation. A restricted driving
13         permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
14         cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the
15         Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
16         a driver's license issued under this Code may be
17         cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
18         conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
19         ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
20         deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
21         suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
22         permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
23         the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
24         the applicant to participate in a designated driver
25         remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of
26         State is authorized to cancel a restricted driving

 

 

HB4859 - 28 - LRB096 16577 AJT 32175 b

1         permit if the permit holder does not successfully
2         complete the program.
3     (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
4 subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State
5 under this Section shall, except during the actual time the
6 suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use
7 only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities,
8 the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the
9 Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver
10 under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the
11 person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made
12 available to the driver licensing administrator of any other
13 state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected
14 driver or motor carrier or prospective motor carrier upon
15 request.
16     (c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
17 subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person
18 by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license
19 will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of
20 the notice.
21     (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
22 reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
23 whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
24 or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of the
25 provisions of this Section, require the applicant to
26 participate in a driver remedial education course and be

1 retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
2     (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the
3 Drivers License Compact.
4     (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
5 driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
6 driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any
7 provisions of this Code.
8     (f) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of
9 State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the
10 operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a
11 CDL whose driving privileges have been suspended, revoked,
12 cancelled, or disqualified under any provisions of this Code.

22     with the State's Attorney before it may be presented orally
23     at the hearing. Any sworn testimony offered by the victim
24     is subject to the defendant's right to cross-examine. All
25     statements and evidence offered under this paragraph (7)
26     shall become part of the record of the court. For the

3 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
4 case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of

8 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the period
9 of estimated actual custody is ... years and ... months. If the
