17 while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
18 intoxicating compound or compounds, or any similar
19 out-of-state offense, or any combination thereof, until the
20 expiration of at least one year from the date of the
21 revocation. A restricted driving permit issued under this
22 Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation, and
23 suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and for
24 like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code may be
25 cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon

28 revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a restricted
29 driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
30 the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require the
31 applicant to participate in a designated driver remedial or
32 rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is authorized to
33 cancel a restricted driving permit if the permit holder does
34 not successfully complete the program. However, if an
35 individual's driving privileges have been revoked in

4 under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
5 local ordinance, the Secretary of State shall revoke the
6 driving privileges of that person. One year after the date of
7 revocation, and upon application, the Secretary of State may,
8 if satisfied that the person applying will not endanger the
9 public safety or welfare, issue a restricted driving permit
10 granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle only between
11 the hours of 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. or as otherwise provided by this
12 Section for a period of one year. After this one year period,
13 and upon reapplication for a license as provided in Section
14 6-106, upon payment of the appropriate reinstatement fee
15 provided under paragraph (b) of Section 6-118, the Secretary of
16 State, in his discretion, may issue the applicant a license, or
17 extend the restricted driving permit as many times as the
18 Secretary of State deems appropriate, by additional periods of
19 not more than 12 months each, until the applicant attains 21

22 suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
23 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
24 or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of separate
25 occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
26 permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped
27 with an ignition interlock device as defined in Section
28 1-129.1.
29     If a person's license or permit has been revoked or

1 person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate
2 a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
3 interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. The person must
4 pay to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
5 not to exceed $20 per month. The Secretary shall establish by
6 rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions
7 relating to these fees. If the restricted driving permit was
8 issued for employment purposes, then this provision does not
9 apply to the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or
10 leased by that person's employer. A restricted driving permit
11 issued under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
12 revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in like
13 manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued under
14 this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that
15 a conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
16 ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed
17 sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or

32 ignition interlock devices on all vehicles owned by an
33 individual who has been convicted of a second or subsequent
34 offense under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
35 provision of a local ordinance. The Secretary shall establish
36 by rule and regulation the procedures for certification and use

2     (i) The Secretary of State may not issue a restricted
3 driving permit for a period of one year after a second or
4 subsequent revocation of driving privileges under clause
5 (a)(2) of this Section; however, one year after the date of a
6 second or subsequent revocation of driving privileges under

8 application, issue a restricted driving permit under the terms
9 and conditions of subsection (c).
10     (j) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of

23     hardship, issue a restricted driving permit granting the

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 that
34     no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
35     available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
36     safety or welfare.

1         If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
2     suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
3     11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
4     ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of
5     separate occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
6     driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
7     been equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined
8     in Section 1-129.1.
9         If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
10     suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to a
11     single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code
12     or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
13     out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension
14     under Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary
15     suspensions, or combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense
16     and a statutory summary suspension, arising out of separate
17     occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
18     permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been

20     Section 1-129.1. The person must pay to the Secretary of
21     State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $20
22     per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount

25     employment purposes, then this provision does not apply to
26     the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
27     that person's employer. In each case the Secretary may
28     issue a restricted driving permit for a period deemed
29     appropriate, except that all permits shall expire within
30     one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not,
31     however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person
32     whose current revocation is the result of a second or
33     subsequent conviction for a violation of Section 11-501 of
34     this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
35     relating to the offense of operating or being in physical
36     control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of

2     compounds, or any similar out-of-state offense, or any
3     combination of those offenses, until the expiration of at
4     least one year from the date of the revocation. A
5     restricted driving permit issued under this Section shall
6     be subject to cancellation, revocation, and suspension by
7     the Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
8     a driver's license issued under this Code may be cancelled,
9     revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or
10     more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
11     movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
12     the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
13     restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a
14     condition to the issuance of a restricted driving permit,
15     require the applicant to participate in a designated driver
16     remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State
17     is authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
18     permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
19     (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
20 reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
