Section 1040.80  Cancellation of Driver's License Upon Issuance of a Disabled Person Identification Card

             

a)         If a Disabled Person Identification Card as provided in 92 Ill. Adm. Code 1030.91 is issued to someone who has a valid Illinois driver's license, the case shall be forwarded to the Driver Analysis Section of the Department for review and possible cancellation of the person's driver's license.  If the person indicated on his/her Disabled Person Identification Card application via affidavit that he/she has a handicap so severe that it precludes him/her from obtaining an Illinois driver's license, the driver's license shall be cancelled unless proof is offered that indicates that the Disabled Person Identification Card was issued in error and should be cancelled.

 

b)         If the applicant holds a valid Illinois driver's license and indicates on his/her Disabled Person Identification Card application via affidavit that his/her handicap is so severe that it precludes him/her from obtaining an Illinois driver's license, the Department shall request that the person submit a medical report to the Driver Analysis Section of the Department.  If the medical report is favorable and indicates that the individual can safely operate a motor vehicle, the Disabled Person Identification Card shall be cancelled.  However, if the medical report indicates the individual cannot safely operate a motor vehicle, the Illinois driver's license will be cancelled pursuant to IVC Section 6-201(5).  If the person wishes to contest the Departmental decision, he/she may request an administrative hearing pursuant to 92 Ill. Adm. Code 1001.  If an individual does not submit the medical report after being requested to do so, his/her driver's license shall be cancelled, if one has previously been issued. This decision may also be contested in accordance with 92 Ill. Adm. Code 1001.
