17        of the suspension, unless 5 offenses were  committed,  at

19        vehicle  in  connection   with   the   driver's   regular
20        occupation.   All   other  driving  privileges  shall  be
21        suspended by the Secretary of State. Any driver prior  to
22        operating  a  vehicle for occupational purposes only must
23        submit the affidavit on  forms  to  be  provided  by  the
24        Secretary  of  State  setting  forth  the  facts  of  the

34        privilege to drive any motor vehicle shall  be  suspended
 
SB1514 Enrolled            -8-                 LRB9208234ARsb
 1        as  set  forth  in  the notice that was mailed under this
 2        Section. If an affidavit is received  subsequent  to  the
 3        effective date of this suspension, a permit may be issued

 5             The  provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply
 6        to any driver required to obtain  a  commercial  driver's

11        affidavit required herein  shall  be  guilty  of  perjury
12        under  Section  6-302  and  upon conviction thereof shall
13        have  all  driving  privileges  revoked  without  further
14        rights.
15             3.  At the conclusion of  a  hearing  under  Section
16        2-118  of  this Code, the Secretary of State shall either
17        rescind or continue  an  order  of  revocation  or  shall
18        substitute   an  order  of  suspension;  or,  good  cause
19        appearing therefor, rescind, continue, change, or  extend
20        the  order of suspension.  If the Secretary of State does
21        not  rescind  the   order,   the   Secretary   may   upon
22        application,   to   relieve   undue   hardship,  issue  a
23        restricted  driving  permit  granting  the  privilege  of
24        driving  a  motor  vehicle   between   the   petitioner's
25        residence  and petitioner's place of employment or within
26        the scope of his employment related duties, or  to  allow
27        transportation  for the petitioner, or a household member
28        of the petitioner's family, to receive necessary  medical
29        care   and  if  the  professional  evaluation  indicates,
30        provide   transportation   for   alcohol   remedial    or
31        rehabilitative  activity, or for the petitioner to attend
32        classes, as  a  student,  in  an  accredited  educational
33        institution;  if  the  petitioner  is able to demonstrate
34        that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
 
SB1514 Enrolled            -9-                 LRB9208234ARsb
 1        available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
 2        safety or welfare. In each case the Secretary may issue a
 3        restricted   driving   permit   for   a   period   deemed
 4        appropriate, except that all permits shall expire  within
 5        one year from the date of issuance.  A restricted driving
 6        permit  issued  under  this  Section  shall be subject to
 7        cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the Secretary
 8        of State in like manner and for like cause as a  driver's
 9        license issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked,
10        or  suspended;  except that a conviction upon one or more
11        offenses  against  laws  or  ordinances  regulating   the
12        movement  of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
13        the  revocation,  suspension,  or   cancellation   of   a
14        restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as
15        a  condition  to  the  issuance  of  a restricted driving
16        permit,  require  the  applicant  to  participate  in   a
17        designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The
18        Secretary  of  State is authorized to cancel a restricted
19        driving permit if the permit holder does not successfully
20        complete the program.
21        (c-5)  The Secretary of State may, as a condition of  the
22    reissuance  of  a  driver's license or permit to an applicant
23    under the age of 18 years whose driver's  license  or  permit
24    has  been suspended pursuant to any of the provisions of this
25    Section, require the applicant to  participate  in  a  driver
