15    or continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an
16    order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,
17    rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of

19    order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue
20    hardship (as defined by the rules of the Secretary of
21    State), issue a restricted driving permit granting the
22    privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the

22        Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
23        of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
24        the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a
25        combination of these offenses, arising out of separate

11            the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
12            element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state
13            offense; or
14                (ii) a statutory summary suspension under
15            Section 11-501.1; or
16                (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
17        arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if

16        provision of a local ordinance or any similar
17        out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal

20        out-of-state offense, or any combination of those
21        offenses, until the expiration of at least one year
22        from the date of the revocation. A restricted driving
23        permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
24        cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the
25        Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
26        a driver's license issued under this Code may be

1        cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
2        conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
3        ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
4        deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
5        suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
6        permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
7        the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
8        the applicant to participate in a designated driver
9        remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of
10        State is authorized to cancel a restricted driving
11        permit if the permit holder does not successfully
12        complete the program.

8    affidavit, the Secretary of State shall issue the driver a
9    permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the driver's
10    regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the

1    order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,
2    rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of

8    petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of
9    employment or within the scope of the petitioner's
10    employment related duties, or to allow the petitioner to
11    transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
12    petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive
13    necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to
14    transport himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug
15    remedial or rehabilitative activity recommended by a
16    licensed service provider, or to allow the petitioner to
17    transport himself or herself or a family member of the
18    petitioner's household to classes, as a student, at an
19    accredited educational institution, or to allow the
20    petitioner to transport children, elderly persons, or
21    disabled persons who do not hold driving privileges and are
22    living in the petitioner's household to and from daycare.
23    The petitioner must demonstrate that no alternative means
24    of transportation is reasonably available and that the
25    petitioner will not endanger the public safety or welfare.

HB0292- 36 -LRB097 06655 HEP 46741 b

1    Section 6-208 of this Code, however, shall not be eligible
2    for the issuance of a restricted driving permit.
3             (A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
4        suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating
5        Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
6        local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
7        Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
8        of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
9        the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a
10        combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
11        occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
12        driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
13        been equipped with an ignition interlock device as
14        defined in Section 1-129.1.
15            (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
16        suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due
17        to any combination of:
18                (i) a single conviction of violating Section
19            11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
20            local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense
21            or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where
22            the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
23            element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state
24            offense; or
25                (ii) a statutory summary suspension or
26            revocation under Section 11-501.1; or

 

 

HB0292- 37 -LRB097 06655 HEP 46741 b

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

4        is recited as an element of the offense, or any similar
5        out-of-state offense, or any combination of those
6        offenses, until the expiration of at least one year
7        from the date of the revocation. A restricted driving
8        permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
9        cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the
10        Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
11        a driver's license issued under this Code may be
12        cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
13        conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
14        ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
15        deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
16        suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
17        permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
18        the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
19        the applicant to participate in a designated driver
20        remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of
21        State is authorized to cancel a restricted driving
22        permit if the permit holder does not successfully
23        complete the program.
24    (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
25subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State
