Introduced 2/8/2007, by Sen. John J. Cullerton

 

SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:
 
625 ILCS 5/6-201   from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-201
625 ILCS 5/6-205   from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-205
625 ILCS 5/6-206   from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-206

    Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that an offender's eligibility for a restricted driving permit depends on whether denial of all driving privileges would cause undue hardship, as defined by rules adopted by the Secretary of State. Provides that a person convicted of 4 or more offenses of driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident involving death or personal injury, or reckless homicide, or a combination of those offenses, is not eligible for a restricted driving permit. Provides that the Secretary shall revoke the driving privileges of any person under the age of 21 convicted of an out-of-state offense similar to DUI. Provides that a second suspension of a person's driving privileges for an out-of-state offense similar to DUI, or a single suspension of that type, if coupled with a summary suspension under the Code or a DUI or reckless homicide conviction, shall result in the person's being prohibited from driving a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device. Provides that a conviction of reckless homicide (as well as a conviction of DUI) increases the limitations that shall be imposed on a person's driving privileges.

3     Act, the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the
4     Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or
5     the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act while that individual

13     motor vehicle, shall have an entry made in the court record
14     by the judge that this offense did occur while the person
15     was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle and order

23     permit granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle
24     between the petitioner's person's residence and
25     petitioner's person's place of employment or within the

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

12     State and the sex offender provides proof of current

21     be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
22     conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
23     ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
24     deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or
25     cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The Secretary
26     of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a

 

 

SB0572 - 11 - LRB095 04708 DRH 24767 b

8     of this Section, no restricted driving permit shall be
9     issued until the individual has served 6 months of the
10     revocation period.
11         (d)(1) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is
12     convicted under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
13     provision of a local ordinance, or a similar out-of-state

15     privileges of that person. One year after the date of
16     revocation, and upon application, the Secretary of State
17     may, if satisfied that the person applying will not
18     endanger the public safety or welfare, issue a restricted
19     driving permit granting the privilege of driving a motor
20     vehicle only between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. or as
21     otherwise provided by this Section for a period of one
22     year. After this one year period, and upon reapplication
23     for a license as provided in Section 6-106, upon payment of
24     the appropriate reinstatement fee provided under paragraph
25     (b) of Section 6-118, the Secretary of State, in his
26     discretion, may reinstate the petitioner's driver's

 

 

SB0572 - 12 - LRB095 04708 DRH 24767 b

11     alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of the
12     offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a
13     combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
14     occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
15     permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been
16     equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined in
17     Section 1-129.1.

23         ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
24         Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
25         of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
26         the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense; or , and

12     Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $20 per month.
13     The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount and the
14     procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these fees.
15         (5) If the restricted driving permit is was issued for
16     employment purposes, then the prohibition against driving

18     device this provision does not apply to the operation of an
19     occupational vehicle owned or leased by that person's
20     employer when used solely for employment purposes.
21         (6) 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
25     be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a

SB0572 - 14 - LRB095 04708 DRH 24767 b

1     ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
