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

10        that person's employer when used solely for employment
11        purposes.
12            (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
13        restricted driving permit for a period deemed
14        appropriate, except that all permits shall expire
15        within one year from the date of issuance. The

17        permit to any person whose current revocation is the
18        result of a second or subsequent conviction for a
19        violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
20        provision of a local ordinance or any similar
21        out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal
22        Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or other drugs
23        is recited as an element of the offense, or any similar
24        out-of-state offense, or any combination of those

5        cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
6        conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
7        ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
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
13        remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of
14        State is authorized to cancel a restricted driving
15        permit if the permit holder does not successfully
16        complete the program.

5        Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
6        of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
7        the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a
8        combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
9        occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
10        driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
11        been equipped with an ignition interlock device as
12        defined in Section 1-129.1.
13            (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
14        suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due

10            (D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
11        employment purposes, then the prohibition against
12        operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an

16        purposes.
17            (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
18        restricted driving permit for a period deemed
19        appropriate, except that all permits shall expire

11        conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
12        ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
13        deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
14        suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
15        permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
16        the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
17        the applicant to participate in a designated driver
