6 conviction.
7 (d) For the purpose of providing the Secretary of State
8 with records necessary to properly monitor and assess driver
9 performance and assist the courts in the proper disposition
10 of repeat traffic law offenders, the clerk of the court shall

25 assigned court supervision or referred to a driver's remedial
26 or rehabilitative program.

5 received, and a permit issued prior to the effective date
6 of the suspension, unless 5 offenses were committed, at

9 the order of suspension. If the Secretary of State does
10 not rescind the order, the Secretary may upon
11 application, to relieve undue hardship, issue a
12 restricted driving permit granting the privilege of
13 driving a motor vehicle between the petitioner's
14 residence and petitioner's place of employment or within
15 the scope of his employment related duties, or to allow
16 transportation for the petitioner, or a household member
17 of the petitioner's family, to receive necessary medical
18 care and if the professional evaluation indicates,
19 provide transportation for alcohol remedial or
20 rehabilitative activity, or for the petitioner to attend

24 available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
25 safety or welfare. In each case the Secretary may issue a
26 restricted driving permit for a period deemed
27 appropriate, except that all permits shall expire within
28 one year from the date of issuance. A restricted driving
29 permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
30 cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the Secretary
31 of State in like manner and for like cause as a driver's
32 license issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked,
33 or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
34 offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
-15- LRB9008408RCpcam02
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
4 a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
5 permit, require the applicant to participate in a
6 designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The
