         13.  Violation of paragraph (a) of Section 11-502 of

    ordinance and the driver was less than 21 years of age at
    the time of the offense.
    (b)  The Secretary of State shall also immediately revoke
the  license  or  permit  of  any  driver  in  the  following
situations:
         1.  Of any minor upon receiving the notice  provided
    for  in  Section  5-901 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987
    that the minor has been adjudicated  under  that  Act  as
    having  committed  an  offense relating to motor vehicles
    prescribed in Section 4-103 of this Code;
         2.  Of any person when any other law of  this  State
    requires either the revocation or suspension of a license
    or permit.

    (c)  Whenever  a  person  is  convicted  of  any  of  the
offenses  enumerated in this Section, the court may recommend
and the Secretary of State in his discretion, without  regard
to  whether the recommendation is made by the court may, upon
application, issue to the person a restricted driving  permit
granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the
petitioner's  residence  and petitioner's place of employment
or within the scope of the  petitioner's  employment  related
duties,  or  to  allow transportation for the petitioner or a
household member of the petitioner's family for  the  receipt
of  necessary medical care or, if the professional evaluation
indicates, provide  transportation  for  the  petitioner  for
alcohol  remedial  or  rehabilitative  activity,  or  for the
petitioner to attend classes, as a student, in an  accredited
educational   institution;  if  the  petitioner  is  able  to
demonstrate that no alternative means  of  transportation  is
reasonably available and the petitioner will not endanger the
public  safety  or  welfare;  provided  that  the Secretary's
discretion shall be limited to  cases  where  undue  hardship
would  result  from a failure to issue the restricted driving
permit.
    If a person's license  or  permit  has  been  revoked  or
suspended  due  to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
11-501 of this  Code  or  a  similar  provision  of  a  local
ordinance  or  a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of
separate occurrences, that person,  if  issued  a  restricted
driving  permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been
equipped with an ignition  interlock  device  as  defined  in
Section 1-129.1.
    If  a  person's  license  or  permit  has been revoked or
suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period  due  to  a
single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code or
a  similar  provision  of  a  local  ordinance  or  a similar
out-of-state offense,  and  a  statutory  summary  suspension
under  Section  11-501.1,  or  2  or  more  statutory summary
suspensions, or combination of 2 offenses, or of  an  offense
and  a  statutory summary suspension, arising out of separate
occurrences, that person,  if  issued  a  restricted  driving
permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped
with  an  ignition  interlock  device  as  defined in Section
1-129.1.  The person must pay to the Secretary of  State  DUI
Administration  Fund  an  amount not to exceed $20 per month.
The Secretary shall establish by  rule  the  amount  and  the
procedures,  terms, and conditions relating to these fees. If
the restricted  driving  permit  was  issued  for  employment
purposes, then this provision does not apply to the operation
of  an  occupational vehicle owned or leased by that person's
employer.  In each case the Secretary of State  may  issue  a
restricted  driving permit for a period he deems appropriate,
except that the permit shall expire within one year from  the
date  of  issuance.  The  Secretary may not, however, issue a
restricted  driving  permit  to  any  person  whose   current
revocation is the result of a second or subsequent conviction
for  a  violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance relating  to  the  offense  of
operating  or  being  in  physical control of a motor vehicle
while under the influence of alcohol, other  drug  or  drugs,
intoxicating   compound   or   compounds,   or   any  similar
out-of-state offense, or any combination thereof,  until  the
expiration  of  at  least  one  year  from  the  date  of the
revocation.  A restricted driving permit  issued  under  this
Section  shall  be  subject  to cancellation, revocation, and
suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner  and  for
like  cause  as a driver's license issued under this Code may
be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction
upon  one  or  more  offenses  against  laws  or   ordinances
regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient
cause  for  the  revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may,  as  a
condition  to  the  issuance  of a restricted driving permit,
require the applicant to participate in a  designated  driver
remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is
authorized  to  cancel  a  restricted  driving  permit if the
permit holder does not  successfully  complete  the  program.
However,  if  an  individual's  driving  privileges have been
revoked in accordance with paragraph 13 of subsection (a)  of
this  Section,  no  restricted driving permit shall be issued
until the individual has served 6 months  of  the  revocation
period.
    (d)  Whenever  a  person under the age of 21 is convicted
under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
local ordinance, the Secretary  of  State  shall  revoke  the
driving  privileges  of that person.  One year after the date
of revocation, and upon application, the Secretary  of  State
may,  if satisfied that the person applying will not endanger
the public safety or  welfare,  issue  a  restricted  driving
permit granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle only
between  the  hours  of  5  a.m.  and  9 p.m. or as otherwise
provided by this Section for a period of  one  year.    After
this one year period, and upon reapplication for a license as
provided  in  Section  6-106, upon payment of the appropriate
reinstatement fee provided under  paragraph  (b)  of  Section
6-118,  the  Secretary of State, in his discretion, may issue
the applicant a license, or  extend  the  restricted  driving
permit  as  many  times  as  the  Secretary  of  State  deems
appropriate, by additional periods of not more than 12 months
each, until the applicant attains 21 years of age.
    If  a  person's  license  or  permit  has been revoked or
suspended due to 2 or more convictions of  violating  Section
11-501  of  this  Code  or  a  similar  provision  of a local
ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, arising  out  of
separate  occurrences,  that  person,  if issued a restricted
driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has  been
equipped  with  an  ignition  interlock  device as defined in
Section 1-129.1.
    If a person's license  or  permit  has  been  revoked  or
suspended  2  or  more times within a 10 year period due to a
single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code or
a similar  provision  of  a  local  ordinance  or  a  similar
out-of-state  offense,  and  a  statutory  summary suspension
under Section  11-501.1,  or  2  or  more  statutory  summary
suspensions,  or  combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense
and a statutory summary suspension, arising out  of  separate
occurrences,  that  person,  if  issued  a restricted driving
permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped
with an ignition  interlock  device  as  defined  in  Section
1-129.1.  The  person  must pay to the Secretary of State DUI
Administration Fund an amount not to exceed  $20  per  month.
The  Secretary  shall  establish  by  rule the amount and the
procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these fees.  If
the  restricted  driving  permit  was  issued  for employment
purposes, then this provision does not apply to the operation
of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by  that  person's
employer.   A  restricted  driving  permit  issued under this
Section shall be subject  to  cancellation,  revocation,  and
suspension  by  the Secretary of State in like manner and for
like cause as a driver's license issued under this  Code  may
be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction
upon   one  or  more  offenses  against  laws  or  ordinances
regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient
cause for the revocation, suspension, or  cancellation  of  a
restricted  driving permit.  The revocation periods contained
in this subparagraph  shall  apply  to  similar  out-of-state
convictions.
    (e)  This  Section  is  subject  to the provisions of the
Driver License Compact.
    (f)  Any  revocation  imposed  upon  any   person   under
subsections  2  and  3  of paragraph (b) that is in effect on
December 31, 1988 shall be converted to a  suspension  for  a
like period of time.
    (g)  The  Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
driving permit to a person under the age of  16  years  whose
driving  privileges have been revoked under any provisions of
this Code.
    (h)  The Secretary of State  shall  require  the  use  of
ignition  interlock  devices  on  all  vehicles  owned  by an
individual who has been convicted of a second  or  subsequent
offense  under  Section  11-501  of  this  Code  or a similar
provision  of  a  local  ordinance.   The   Secretary   shall
establish   by   rule   and  regulation  the  procedures  for
certification and use of the interlock system.
    (i)  The Secretary of State may not  issue  a  restricted
driving  permit  for  a  period of one year after a second or
subsequent revocation  of  driving  privileges  under  clause
(a)(2) of this Section; however, one year after the date of a
second  or  subsequent revocation of driving privileges under
clause (a)(2) of this Section, the Secretary  of  State  may,
upon application, issue a restricted driving permit under the
terms and conditions of subsection (c).

apply.
     (c) 1.  Upon suspending or revoking the driver's license
    or permit of any person as authorized  in  this  Section,
    the  Secretary  of  State  shall  immediately  notify the
    person in writing of the revocation  or  suspension.  The
    notice to be deposited in the United States mail, postage
    prepaid, to the last known address of the person.
         2.  If  the Secretary of State suspends the driver's
    license of a person under subsection 2 of  paragraph  (a)
    of  this  Section,  a  person's  privilege  to  operate a
    vehicle as an occupation shall not be suspended, provided
    an affidavit is properly completed, the  appropriate  fee
    received, and a permit issued prior to the effective date
    of  the  suspension, unless 5 offenses were committed, at
    least 2 of which occurred while  operating  a  commercial
    vehicle   in   connection   with   the  driver's  regular
    occupation.  All  other  driving  privileges   shall   be
    suspended  by the Secretary of State. Any driver prior to
    operating a vehicle for occupational purposes  only  must
    submit  the  affidavit  on  forms  to  be provided by the
    Secretary  of  State  setting  forth  the  facts  of  the
    person's occupation.  The affidavit shall also state  the
    number of offenses committed while operating a vehicle in
    connection  with  the  driver's  regular  occupation. The
    affidavit shall be accompanied by the  driver's  license.
    Upon  receipt  of  a  properly  completed  affidavit, the
    Secretary of State shall issue the  driver  a  permit  to
    operate a vehicle in connection with the driver's regular
    occupation  only.  Unless  the  permit  is  issued by the
    Secretary of State prior to the date of  suspension,  the
    privilege  to  drive any motor vehicle shall be suspended
    as set forth in the notice that  was  mailed  under  this
    Section.  If  an  affidavit is received subsequent to the
    effective date of this suspension, a permit may be issued
    for the remainder of the suspension period.
         The provisions of this subparagraph shall not  apply
    to  any  driver  required to obtain a commercial driver's
    license under  Section  6-507  during  the  period  of  a
    disqualification  of  commercial driving privileges under
    Section 6-514.
         Any person  who  falsely  states  any  fact  in  the
    affidavit  required  herein  shall  be  guilty of perjury
    under Section 6-302 and  upon  conviction  thereof  shall
    have  all  driving  privileges  revoked  without  further
    rights.
         3.  At  the  conclusion  of  a hearing under Section
    2-118 of this Code, the Secretary of State  shall  either
    rescind  or  continue  an  order  of  revocation or shall
    substitute  an  order  of  suspension;  or,  good   cause
    appearing  therefor, rescind, continue, change, or extend
    the order of suspension.  If the Secretary of State  does
    not   rescind   the   order,   the   Secretary  may  upon
    application,  to  relieve   undue   hardship,   issue   a
    restricted  driving  permit  granting  the  privilege  of
    driving   a   motor   vehicle  between  the  petitioner's
    residence and petitioner's place of employment or  within
    the  scope  of his employment related duties, or to allow
    transportation for the petitioner, or a household  member
    of  the petitioner's family, to receive necessary medical
    care  and  if  the  professional  evaluation   indicates,
    provide    transportation   for   alcohol   remedial   or
    rehabilitative activity, or for the petitioner to  attend
    classes,  as  a  student,  in  an  accredited educational
    institution; if the petitioner  is  able  to  demonstrate
    that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
    available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
    safety or welfare.
         If  a person's license or permit has been revoked or
    suspended due to  2  or  more  convictions  of  violating
    Section  11-501  of this Code or a similar provision of a
    local  ordinance  or  a  similar  out-of-state   offense,
    arising  out  of  separate  occurrences,  that person, if
    issued a restricted driving permit,  may  not  operate  a
    vehicle  unless  it  has  been  equipped with an ignition
    interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
         If a person's license or permit has been revoked  or
    suspended  2 or more times within a 10 year period due to
    a single conviction of violating Section 11-501  of  this
    Code  or  a  similar  provision of a local ordinance or a
    similar out-of-state offense,  and  a  statutory  summary
    suspension under Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory
    summary  suspensions, or combination of 2 offenses, or of
    an offense and a statutory  summary  suspension,  arising
    out  of  separate  occurrences,  that person, if issued a
    restricted driving permit,  may  not  operate  a  vehicle
    unless  it  has  been equipped with an ignition interlock
    device as defined in Section 1-129.1.   The  person  must
    pay  to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an
    amount not to exceed $20 per month.  The Secretary  shall
    establish  by  rule the amount and the procedures, terms,
    and conditions relating to these fees.  If the restricted
    driving permit was issued for employment  purposes,  then
    this  provision  does  not  apply  to the operation of an
    occupational vehicle owned or  leased  by  that  person's
    employer.   In  each  case  the  Secretary  may  issue  a
    restricted   driving   permit   for   a   period   deemed
    appropriate,  except that all permits shall expire within
    one year from the date of issuance.   The  Secretary  may
    not,  however,  issue  a restricted driving permit to any
    person whose current revocation is the result of a second
    or subsequent  conviction  for  a  violation  of  Section
    11-501  of  this  Code  or a similar provision of a local
    ordinance relating to the offense of operating  or  being
    in  physical  control  of a motor vehicle while under the
    influence of alcohol, other drug or  drugs,  intoxicating
    compound   or  compounds,  or  any  similar  out-of-state
    offense, or any combination of those offenses, until  the
    expiration  of  at  least  one  year from the date of the
    revocation.  A restricted  driving  permit  issued  under
    this   Section   shall   be   subject   to  cancellation,
    revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of  State  in
    like  manner  and  for  like  cause as a driver's license
    issued under this Code  may  be  cancelled,  revoked,  or
    suspended;  except  that  a  conviction  upon one or more
    offenses  against  laws  or  ordinances  regulating   the
    movement  of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
    the  revocation,  suspension,  or   cancellation   of   a
    restricted  driving  permit.  The Secretary of State may,
    as a condition to the issuance of  a  restricted  driving
    permit,   require  the  applicant  to  participate  in  a
    designated driver  remedial  or  rehabilitative  program.
    The   Secretary  of  State  is  authorized  to  cancel  a
    restricted driving permit if the permit holder  does  not
    successfully complete the program.
    (c-5)  The  Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
reissuance of a driver's license or permit  to  an  applicant
whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
or  she  reached  the  age of 18 years pursuant to any of the
provisions  of  this  Section,  require  the   applicant   to
participate  in  a  driver  remedial  education course and be
retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
    (d)  This Section is subject to  the  provisions  of  the
Drivers License Compact.
    (e)  The  Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
driving permit to a person under the age of  16  years  whose
driving  privileges  have been suspended or revoked under any
provisions of this Code.

police vehicle. Such requirement shall not preclude  the  use
of amber or white oscillating, rotating or flashing lights in
conjunction   with  red  or  blue  oscillating,  rotating  or
flashing lights as required in Section 12-215 of Chapter 12.
    (b)  Upon  receiving  notice  of  such   conviction   the
Secretary  of  State shall suspend the drivers license of the
person so convicted for a period of not more  than  6  months
for  a  first  conviction  and  not more than 12 months for a
second conviction.
    (c)  A third or subsequent violation of this Section is a
Class 4 felony.
