21        out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal

8        deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
9        suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
10        permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
11        the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
12        the applicant to participate in a designated driver
