1    ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation
2    of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that person's
3    employer when used solely for employment purposes. For any
4    person who, within a 5-year period, is convicted of a
5    second or subsequent offense under Section 11-501 of this
6    Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance or
7    similar out-of-state offense, this employment exemption

15        (6) In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
16    restricted driving permit for a period he deems
17    appropriate, except that the permit shall expire within one
18    year from the date of issuance. A restricted driving permit
19    issued under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
20    revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
21    like manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued
22    under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended;
23    except that a conviction upon one or more offenses against
24    laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall
25    be deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension,
26    or cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The

 

 

HB6126- 11 -LRB099 17307 AXK 41665 b

1    Secretary of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a
2    restricted driving permit, require the petitioner to
3    participate in a designated driver remedial or
4    rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is
5    authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
6    permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
7    However, if an individual's driving privileges have been
8    revoked in accordance with paragraph 13 of subsection (a)
9    of this Section, no restricted driving permit shall be
10    issued until the individual has served 6 months of the
11    revocation period.

18homicide or a similar out-of-state offense, the person's
19driving privileges shall be revoked pursuant to subdivision
20(a)(15) of this Section. The person may not make application
21for a license or permit until the expiration of five years from
22the effective date of the revocation or the expiration of five
23years from the date of release from a term of imprisonment,
24whichever is later.

2revocation was for a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
3Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 relating to the
4offense of reckless homicide or a similar out-of-state offense,
5the person may never apply for a license or permit.

7under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
8local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, the

10person. One year after the date of revocation, and upon

12person applying will not endanger the public safety or welfare,
13issue a restricted driving permit granting the privilege of
14driving a motor vehicle only between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9
15p.m. or as otherwise provided by this Section for a period of
16one year. After this one-year one year period, and upon
