Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

been summarily suspended, pursuant to Section 11-501.1, shall not be
eligible for restoration of the privilege until the expiration of:

1. twelve months from the effective date of the

2. six months from the effective date of the

statutory summary suspension imposed following the person's submission to a chemical test which disclosed an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, the presence of cannabis as listed in the Cannabis Control Act with a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration as defined in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2 of this Code, or any amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating compound in such person's breath, blood, other bodily substance, or urine resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of a controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, pursuant to Section 11-501.1; or

4. one year from the effective date of the summary

suspension imposed for any person other than a first offender following submission to a chemical test which disclosed an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more pursuant to Section 11-501.1, the presence of cannabis as listed in the Cannabis Control Act with a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration as defined in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2 of this Code, or any amount of a drug, substance or compound in such person's blood, other bodily substance, or urine resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of a controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act; or

(b) Following a statutory summary suspension of the privilege to drive a
motor vehicle under Section 11-501.1, driving privileges shall be
restored unless the person is otherwise suspended, revoked, or cancelled by this Code.  If
the court has reason to believe that the person's
driving privilege should not be restored, the court shall notify
the Secretary of State prior to the expiration of the statutory summary
suspension so appropriate action may be taken pursuant to this Code.

(c) Driving privileges may not be restored until all applicable
reinstatement fees, as provided by this Code, have been paid to the Secretary
of State and the appropriate entry made to the driver's record.

(d) Where a driving privilege has been summarily suspended or revoked under Section
11-501.1 and the person is subsequently convicted of violating Section
11-501, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, for the same incident,
any period served on statutory summary suspension or revocation shall be credited toward
the minimum period of revocation of driving privileges imposed pursuant to
Section 6-205.

(e) A first offender who refused chemical testing and whose driving privileges were summarily revoked pursuant to Section 11-501.1 shall not be eligible for a monitoring device driving permit, but may make application for reinstatement or for a restricted driving permit after a period of one year has elapsed from the effective date of the revocation.
