4 11-501.6, and 20-204.
5 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
6 represented in the General Assembly:
7 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
8 changing Sections 6-201, 6-203.1, 6-205, 6-206.1, 6-207,
9 6-208.1, 11-500, 11-501, 11-501.1, 11-501.2, 11-501.4,
10 11-501.4-1, 11-501.6, and 20-204 as follows:
11 (625 ILCS 5/6-201) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-201)
12 Sec. 6-201. Authority to cancel licenses and permits.
13 (a) The Secretary of State is authorized to cancel any
14 license or permit upon determining that the holder thereof:
15 1. was not entitled to the issuance thereof
16 hereunder; or
17 2. failed to give the required or correct
18 information in his application; or
19 3. failed to pay any fees, civil penalties owed to
20 the Illinois Commerce Commission, or taxes due under this
21 Act and upon reasonable notice and demand; or
22 4. committed any fraud in the making of such
23 application; or
24 5. is ineligible therefor under the provisions of
25 Section 6-103 of this Act, as amended; or
26 6. has refused or neglected to submit an alcohol,
27 and drug, and intoxicating compound evaluation or to
28 submit to examination or re-examination as required under
29 this Act; or
30 7. has been convicted of violating the Cannabis
31 Control Act, or the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
-2- LRB9008469RCks
1 or the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act while that
2 individual was in actual physical control of a motor
3 vehicle. For purposes of this Section, any person placed
4 on probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act
5 or Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act
6 shall not be considered convicted. Any person found
7 guilty of this offense, while in actual physical control
8 of a motor vehicle, shall have an entry made in the court
9 record by the judge that this offense did occur while the
10 person was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle
11 and order the clerk of the court to report the violation
12 to the Secretary of State as such. After the
13 cancellation, the Secretary of State shall not issue a
14 new license or permit for a period of one year after the
15 date of cancellation. However, upon application, the
16 Secretary of State may, if satisfied that the person
17 applying will not endanger the public safety, or welfare,
18 issue a restricted driving permit granting the privilege
19 of driving a motor vehicle between the person's residence
20 and person's place of employment or within the scope of
21 the person's employment related duties, or to allow
22 transportation for the person or a household member of
23 the person's family for the receipt of necessary medical
24 care or, if the professional evaluation indicates,
25 provide transportation for the petitioner for alcohol
26 remedial or rehabilitative activity, or for the person to
27 attend classes, as a student, in an accredited
28 educational institution; if the person is able to
29 demonstrate that no alternative means of transportation
30 is reasonably available; provided that the Secretary's
31 discretion shall be limited to cases where undue hardship
32 would result from a failure to issue such restricted
33 driving permit. In each case the Secretary of State may
34 issue such restricted driving permit for such period as
-3- LRB9008469RCks
1 he deems appropriate, except that such permit shall
2 expire within one year from the date of issuance. A
3 restricted driving permit issued hereunder shall be
4 subject to cancellation, revocation and suspension by the
5 Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as a
6 driver's license issued hereunder may be cancelled,
7 revoked or suspended; except that a conviction upon one
8 or more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating
9 the movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause
10 for the revocation, suspension or cancellation of a
11 restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may,
12 as a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
13 permit, require the applicant to participate in a driver
14 remedial or rehabilitative program; or
15 8. failed to submit a report as required by Section
16 6-116.5 of this Code.
17 (b) Upon such cancellation the licensee or permittee
18 must surrender the license or permit so cancelled to the
19 Secretary of State.
20 (c) Except as provided in Sections 6-206.1 and 7-702.1,
21 the Secretary of State shall have exclusive authority to
22 grant, issue, deny, cancel, suspend and revoke driving
23 privileges, drivers' licenses and restricted driving permits.

29 another state for driving under the influence of alcohol,
30 other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds,
31 or any a combination thereof, or a similar provision, and who
32 has refused to submit to a chemical test or tests under the
33 provisions of implied consent.

2 refusal as provided in paragraph (a) and the person is
3 subsequently convicted of the underlying charge, for the same
4 incident, any period served on suspension shall be credited
5 toward the minimum period of revocation of driving privileges
6 imposed pursuant to Section 6-206.

14 any of the following offenses:
15 1. Reckless homicide resulting from the operation
16 of a motor vehicle;
17 2. Violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a

20 vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, other drug
21 or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or any
22 combination thereof of both;
23 3. Any felony under the laws of any State or the
24 federal government in the commission of which a motor
25 vehicle was used;
26 4. Violation of Section 11-401 of this Code
27 relating to the offense of leaving the scene of a traffic
28 accident involving death or personal injury;
29 5. Perjury or the making of a false affidavit or
30 statement under oath to the Secretary of State under this
31 Code or under any other law relating to the ownership or
32 operation of motor vehicles;
33 6. Conviction upon 3 charges of violation of
-5- LRB9008469RCks
1 Section 11-503 of this Code relating to the offense of
2 reckless driving committed within a period of 12 months;
3 7. Conviction of the offense of automobile theft as
4 defined in Section 4-102 of this Code;
5 8. Violation of Section 11-504 of this Code
6 relating to the offense of drag racing;
7 9. Violation of Chapters 8 and 9 of this Code;
8 10. Violation of Section 12-5 of the Criminal Code
9 of 1961 arising from the use of a motor vehicle;
10 11. Violation of Section 11-204.1 of this Code
11 relating to aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a
12 police officer;
13 12. Violation of paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of
14 Section 6-507, or a similar law of any other state,
15 relating to the unlawful operation of a commercial motor
16 vehicle;
17 13. Violation of paragraph (a) of Section 11-502 of
18 this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance if
19 the driver has been previously convicted of a violation
20 of that Section or a similar provision of a local
21 ordinance and the driver was less than 21 years of age at
22 the time of the offense.
23 (b) The Secretary of State shall also immediately revoke
24 the license or permit of any driver in the following
25 situations:
26 1. Of any minor upon receiving the notice provided
27 for in Section 1-8 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 that
28 the minor has been adjudicated under that Act as having
29 committed an offense relating to motor vehicles
30 prescribed in Section 4-103 of this Code;
31 2. Of any person when any other law of this State
32 requires either the revocation or suspension of a license
33 or permit.
34 (c) Whenever a person is convicted of any of the
-6- LRB9008469RCks
1 offenses enumerated in this Section, the court may recommend
2 and the Secretary of State in his discretion, without regard
3 to whether the recommendation is made by the court, may, upon
4 application, issue to the person a restricted driving permit
5 granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the
6 petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of employment
7 or within the scope of the petitioner's employment related
8 duties, or to allow transportation for the petitioner or a
9 household member of the petitioner's family for the receipt
10 of necessary medical care or, if the professional evaluation
11 indicates, provide transportation for the petitioner for
12 alcohol remedial or rehabilitative activity, or for the
13 petitioner to attend classes, as a student, in an accredited
14 educational institution; if the petitioner is able to
15 demonstrate that no alternative means of transportation is
16 reasonably available and the petitioner will not endanger the
17 public safety or welfare; provided that the Secretary's
18 discretion shall be limited to cases where undue hardship
19 would result from a failure to issue the restricted driving
20 permit. In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
21 restricted driving permit for a period he deems appropriate,
22 except that the permit shall expire within one year from the
23 date of issuance. A restricted driving permit issued under
24 this Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation,
25 and suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and
26 for like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code
27 may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
28 conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
29 ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed
30 sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or
31 cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The Secretary of
32 State may, as a condition to the issuance of a restricted
33 driving permit, require the applicant to participate in a
34 designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The
-7- LRB9008469RCks
1 Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a restricted
2 driving permit if the permit holder does not successfully
3 complete the program. However, if an individual's driving
4 privileges have been revoked in accordance with paragraph 13
5 of subsection (a) of this Section, no restricted driving
6 permit shall be issued until the individual has served 6
7 months of the revocation period.
8 (d) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is convicted
9 under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
10 local ordinance, the Secretary of State shall revoke the
11 driving privileges of that person. One year after the date
12 of revocation, and upon application, the Secretary of State
13 may, if satisfied that the person applying will not endanger
14 the public safety or welfare, issue a restricted driving
15 permit granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle only
16 between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. or as otherwise
17 provided by this Section for a period of one year. After
18 this one year period, and upon reapplication for a license as
19 provided in Section 6-106, upon payment of the appropriate
20 reinstatement fee provided under paragraph (b) of Section
21 6-118, the Secretary of State, in his discretion, may issue
22 the applicant a license, or extend the restricted driving
23 permit as many times as the Secretary of State deems
24 appropriate, by additional periods of not more than 12 months
25 each, until the applicant attains 21 years of age. A
26 restricted driving permit issued under this Section shall be
27 subject to cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the
28 Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as a
29 driver's license issued under this Code may be cancelled,
30 revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or
31 more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
32 movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for the
33 revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a restricted
34 driving permit. Any person under 21 years of age who has a
-8- LRB9008469RCks
1 driver's license revoked for a second or subsequent
2 conviction for driving under the influence, prior to the age
3 of 21, shall not be eligible to submit an application for a
4 full reinstatement of driving privileges or a restricted
5 driving permit until age 21 or one additional year from the
6 date of the latest such revocation, whichever is the longer.
7 The revocation periods contained in this subparagraph shall
8 apply to similar out-of-state convictions.
9 (e) This Section is subject to the provisions of the
10 Driver License Compact.
11 (f) Any revocation imposed upon any person under
12 subsections 2 and 3 of paragraph (b) that is in effect on
13 December 31, 1988 shall be converted to a suspension for a
14 like period of time.
15 (g) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
16 driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
17 driving privileges have been revoked under any provisions of
18 this Code.

21 (625 ILCS 5/6-206.1) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-206.1)
22 Sec. 6-206.1. Judicial Driving Permit. Declaration of
23 Policy. It is hereby declared a policy of the State of
24 Illinois that the driver who is impaired by alcohol, or other
25 drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds is a
26 threat to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, to
27 provide a deterrent to such practice and to remove problem
28 drivers from the highway, a statutory summary driver's
29 license suspension is appropriate. It is also recognized that
30 driving is a privilege and therefore, that in some cases the
31 granting of limited driving privileges, where consistent with
32 public safety, is warranted during the period of suspension
33 in the form of a judicial driving permit to drive for the
-9- LRB9008469RCks
1 purpose of employment, receiving drug treatment or medical
2 care, and educational pursuits, where no alternative means of
3 transportation is available.
4 The following procedures shall apply whenever a first
5 offender is arrested for any offense as defined in Section
6 11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance:
7 (a) Subsequent to a notification of a statutory summary
8 suspension of driving privileges as provided in Section
9 11-501.1, the first offender as defined in Section 11-500 may
10 petition the circuit court of venue for a Judicial Driving
11 Permit, hereinafter referred as a JDP, to relieve undue
12 hardship. The court may issue a court order, pursuant to
13 the criteria contained in this Section, directing the
14 Secretary of State to issue such a JDP to the petitioner. A
15 JDP shall not become effective prior to the 31st day of the
16 original statutory summary suspension and shall always be
17 subject to the following criteria:
18 1. If ordered for the purposes of employment, the
19 JDP shall be only for the purpose of providing the
20 petitioner the privilege of driving a motor vehicle
21 between the petitioner's residence and the petitioner's
22 place of employment and return; or within the scope of
23 the petitioner's employment related duties, shall be
24 effective only during and limited to those specific times
25 and routes actually required to commute or perform the
26 petitioner's employment related duties.
27 2. The court, by a court order, may also direct the
28 Secretary of State to issue a JDP to allow transportation
29 for the petitioner, or a household member of the
30 petitioner's family, to receive alcohol, or other drug,
31 or intoxicating compound treatment or medical care, if
32 the petitioner is able to demonstrate that no alternative
33 means of transportation is reasonably available. Such JDP
34 shall be effective only during the specific times
-10- LRB9008469RCks
1 actually required to commute.
2 3. The court, by a court order, may also direct the
3 Secretary of State to issue a JDP to allow transportation
4 by the petitioner for educational purposes upon
5 demonstrating that there are no alternative means of
6 transportation reasonably available to accomplish those
7 educational purposes. Such JDP shall be only for the
8 purpose of providing transportation to and from the
9 petitioner's residence and the petitioner's place of
10 educational activity, and only during the specific times
11 and routes actually required to commute or perform the
12 petitioner's educational requirement.
13 4. The Court shall not issue an order granting a
14 JDP to:
15 (i) Any person unless and until the court,
16 after considering the results of a current
17 professional evaluation of the person's alcohol or
18 other drug use by an agency pursuant to Section
19 15-10 of the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and
20 Dependency Act and other appropriate investigation
21 of the person, is satisfied that granting the
22 privilege of driving a motor vehicle on the highways
23 will not endanger the public safety or welfare.
24 (ii) Any person who has been convicted of
25 reckless homicide within the previous 5 years.
26 (iii) Any person whose privilege to operate a
27 motor vehicle was invalid at the time of arrest for
28 the current violation of Section 11-501, or a
29 similar provision of a local ordinance, except in
30 cases where the cause for a driver's license
31 suspension has been removed at the time a JDP is
32 effective. In any case, should the Secretary of
33 State enter a suspension or revocation of driving
34 privileges pursuant to the provisions of this Code
-11- LRB9008469RCks
1 while the JDP is in effect or pending, the Secretary
2 shall take the prescribed action and provide a
3 notice to the person and the court ordering the
4 issuance of the JDP that all driving privileges,
5 including those provided by the issuance of the JDP,
6 have been withdrawn.
7 (iv) Any person under the age of 18 years.
8 (b) Prior to ordering the issuance of a JDP the Court
9 should consider at least, but not be limited to, the
10 following issues:
11 1. Whether the person is employed and no other
12 means of commuting to the place of employment is
13 available or that the person must drive as a condition of
14 employment. The employer shall certify the hours of
15 employment and the need and parameters necessary for
16 driving as a condition to employment.
17 2. Whether the person must drive to secure alcohol
18 or other medical treatment for himself or a family
19 member.
20 3. Whether the person must drive for educational
21 purposes. The educational institution shall certify the
22 person's enrollment in and academic schedule at the
23 institution.
24 4. Whether the person has been repeatedly convicted
25 of traffic violations or involved in motor vehicle
26 accidents to a degree which indicates disrespect for
27 public safety.
28 5. Whether the person has been convicted of a
29 traffic violation in connection with a traffic accident
30 resulting in the death of any person within the last 5
31 years.
32 6. Whether the person is likely to obey the limited
33 provisions of the JDP.
34 7. Whether the person has any additional traffic
-12- LRB9008469RCks
1 violations pending in any court.
2 For purposes of this Section, programs conducting
3 professional evaluations of a person's alcohol or other drug
4 use must report, to the court of venue, using a form
5 prescribed by the Secretary of State. A copy of such
6 evaluations shall be sent to the Secretary of State by the
7 court. However, the evaluation information shall be
8 privileged and only available to courts and to the Secretary
9 of State, but shall not be admissible in the subsequent trial
10 on the underlying charge.
11 (c) The scope of any court order issued for a JDP under
12 this Section shall be limited to the operation of a motor
13 vehicle as provided for in subsection (a) of this Section and
14 shall specify the petitioner's residence, place of employment
15 or location of educational institution, and the scope of job
16 related duties, if relevant. The JDP shall also specify days
17 of the week and specific hours of the day when the petitioner
18 is able to exercise the limited privilege of operating a
19 motor vehicle. If the Petitioner, who has been granted a JDP,
20 is issued a citation for a traffic related offense, including
21 operating a motor vehicle outside the limitations prescribed
22 in the JDP or a violation of Section 6-303, or is convicted
23 of any such an offense during the term of the JDP, the court
24 shall consider cancellation of the limited driving permit.
25 In any case, if the Petitioner commits an offense, as defined
26 in Section 11-501, or a similar provision of a local
27 ordinance, as evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic
28 Ticket, the JDP shall be forwarded by the court of venue to
29 the court ordering the issuance of the JDP, for cancellation.
30 The court shall notify the Secretary of State of any such
31 cancellation.
32 (d) The Secretary of State shall, upon receiving a court
33 order from the court of venue, issue a JDP to a successful
34 Petitioner under this Section. Such court order form shall
-13- LRB9008469RCks
1 also contain a notification, which shall be sent to the
2 Secretary of State, providing the name, driver's license
3 number and legal address of the successful petitioner, and
4 the full and detailed description of the limitations of the
5 JDP. This information shall be available only to the courts,
6 police officers, and the Secretary of State, except during
7 the actual period the JDP is valid, during which time it
8 shall be a public record. The Secretary of State shall design
9 and furnish to the courts an official court order form to be
10 used by the courts when directing the Secretary of State to
11 issue a JDP.
12 Any submitted court order that contains insufficient data
13 or fails to comply with this Code shall not be utilized for
14 JDP issuance or entered to the driver record but shall be
15 returned to the issuing court indicating why the JDP cannot
16 be so entered. A notice of this action shall also be sent to
17 the JDP petitioner by the Secretary of State.
18 (e) The circuit court of venue may conduct the judicial
19 hearing, as provided in Section 2-118.1, and the JDP hearing
20 provided in this Section, concurrently. Such concurrent
21 hearing shall proceed in the court in the same manner as in
22 other civil proceedings.

24 (625 ILCS 5/6-207) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-207)
25 Sec. 6-207. Secretary of State may require reexamination
26 or reissuance of a license.
27 (a) The Secretary of State, having good cause to believe
28 that a licensed driver or person holding a permit or applying
29 for a license or license renewal is incompetent or otherwise
30 not qualified to hold a license or permit, may upon written
31 notice of at least 5 days to the person require the person to
32 submit to an examination as prescribed by the Secretary.
33 Refusal or neglect of the person to submit an alcohol,
-14- LRB9008469RCks
1 and drug, or intoxicating compound evaluation or submit to or
2 failure to successfully complete the examination is grounds
3 for suspension of the person's license or permit under
4 Section 6-206 of this Act or cancellation of his license or
5 permit under Section 6-201 of this Act.
6 (b) The Secretary of State, having issued a driver's
7 license or permit in error, may upon written notice of at
8 least 5 days to the person, require the person to appear at a
9 Driver Services facility to have the license or permit error
10 corrected and a new license or permit issued.
11 Refusal or neglect of the person to appear is grounds for

18 an Illinois law enforcement officer, the blood may be
19 withdrawn only by a physician authorized to practice
20 medicine in the adjoining state, a registered nurse, a
21 trained phlebotomist acting under the direction of the
22 physician, or certified paramedic. The law enforcement
23 officer requesting the test shall take custody of the
24 blood sample, and the blood sample shall be analyzed by a
25 laboratory certified by the Department of Public Health
26 for that purpose.
27 3. The person tested may have a physician, or a
28 qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
29 qualified person of their own choosing administer a
30 chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at
31 the direction of a law enforcement officer. The failure
32 or inability to obtain an additional test by a person
33 shall not preclude the admission of evidence relating to
34 the test or tests taken at the direction of a law
-29- LRB9008469RCks
1 enforcement officer.
2 4. Upon the request of the person who shall submit
3 to a chemical test or tests at the request of a law
4 enforcement officer, full information concerning the test
5 or tests shall be made available to the person or such
6 person's attorney.
7 5. Alcohol concentration shall mean either grams of
8 alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
9 per 210 liters of breath.
10 (b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
11 proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
12 by any person while driving or in actual physical control of
13 a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the
14 concentration of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at
15 the time alleged as shown by analysis of the person's blood,
16 urine, breath, or other bodily substance shall give rise to
17 the following presumptions:
18 1. If there was at that time an alcohol
19 concentration of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that
20 the person was not under the influence of alcohol.
21 2. If there was at that time an alcohol
22 concentration in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such
23 facts shall not give rise to any presumption that the
24 person was or was not under the influence of alcohol, but
25 such fact may be considered with other competent evidence
26 in determining whether the person was under the influence
27 of alcohol.
28 3. If there was at that time an alcohol
29 concentration of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that
30 the person was under the influence of alcohol.
31 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall
32 not be construed as limiting the introduction of any
33 other relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether
34 the person was under the influence of alcohol.
-30- LRB9008469RCks
1 (c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
2 chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1,
3 evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or
4 criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged
5 to have been committed while the person under the
6 influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or
7 intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination
8 thereof of both was driving or in actual physical control
9 of a motor vehicle.
10 2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this
11 Code to submit to these tests or any ability to revoke
12 the implied consent to these tests, if a law enforcement
13 officer has probable cause to believe that a motor
14 vehicle driven by or in actual physical control of a
15 person under the influence of alcohol, any other drug or
16 drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any
17 combination thereof of both has caused the death or
18 personal injury to another, that person shall submit,
19 upon the request of a law enforcement officer, to a
20 chemical test or tests of his or her blood, breath or
21 urine for the purpose of determining the alcohol content
22 thereof or the presence of any other drug or combination
23 of both.
24 This provision does not affect the applicability of or
25 imposition of driver's license sanctions under Section
26 11-501.1 of this Code.
27 3. For purposes of this Section, a personal injury
28 includes any Type A injury as indicated on the traffic
29 accident report completed by a law enforcement officer
30 that requires immediate professional attention in either
31 a doctor's office or a medical facility. A Type A injury
32 includes severe bleeding wounds, distorted extremities,
33 and injuries that require the injured party to be carried
34 from the scene.

5 (a) Any person who drives or is in actual control of a
6 motor vehicle upon the public highways of this State and who
7 has been involved in a personal injury or fatal motor vehicle
8 accident, shall be deemed to have given consent to a breath

6 withdrawal can be made without interfering with or
7 endangering the well-being of the patient.
8 (c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided
9 above shall be warned by the law enforcement officer
10 requesting the test that a refusal to submit to the test, or
11 submission to the test resulting in an alcohol concentration
12 of 0.08 or more, or any amount of a drug, substance, or
13 intoxicating compound resulting from the unlawful use or
14 consumption of cannabis, as covered by the Cannabis Control
15 Act, or a controlled substance listed in the Illinois
16 Controlled Substances Act, or an intoxicating compound listed
17 in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act as detected in such
18 person's blood or urine, may result in the suspension of such
19 person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle. The length of
20 the suspension shall be the same as outlined in Section
21 6-208.1 of this Code regarding statutory summary suspensions.
22 (d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test
23 which discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, or

-35- LRB9008469RCks
1 concentration of 0.08 or more, or any amount of a drug,
2 substance, or intoxicating compound in such person's blood or

6 or an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating
7 Compounds Act.
8 Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
9 officer, the Secretary shall enter the suspension to the
10 individual's driving record and the suspension shall be
11 effective on the 46th day following the date notice of the
12 suspension was given to the person.
13 The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
14 shall serve immediate notice of this suspension on the person
15 and such suspension shall be effective on the 46th day
16 following the date notice was given.
17 The cases where the blood alcohol concentration of 0.08
18 or more, or any amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating
19 compound resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of
20 cannabis as listed in the Cannabis Control Act, or a
21 controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
22 Substances Act, or an intoxicating compound listed in the Use

31 Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
32 officer, the Secretary shall also give notice of the
33 suspension to the driver by mailing a notice of the effective
34 date of the suspension to the individual. However, should
-36- LRB9008469RCks
1 the sworn report be defective by not containing sufficient
2 information or be completed in error, the notice of the
3 suspension shall not be mailed to the person or entered to
4 the driving record, but rather the sworn report shall be
5 returned to the issuing law enforcement agency.
6 (e) A driver may contest this suspension of his driving
7 privileges by requesting an administrative hearing with the
8 Secretary in accordance with Section 2-118 of this Code. At
9 the conclusion of a hearing held under Section 2-118 of this
10 Code, the Secretary may rescind, continue, or modify the
11 order of suspension. If the Secretary does not rescind the
12 order, a restricted driving permit may be granted by the
13 Secretary upon application being made and good cause shown.
14 A restricted driving permit may be granted to relieve undue
15 hardship to allow driving for employment, educational, and
16 medical purposes as outlined in Section 6-206 of this Code.
17 The provisions of Section 6-206 of this Code shall apply.
18 (f) (Blank)
19 (g) For the purposes of this Section, a personal injury
