10 driving a motor vehicle between the petitioner's
11 residence and petitioner's place of employment or within
12 the scope of his employment related duties, or to allow

28 issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
29 vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
30 interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
31 If a person's license or permit has been revoked or

9 pay to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an
10 amount not to exceed $20 per month. The Secretary shall
11 establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,

15 occupational vehicle owned or leased by that person's
16 employer. In each case the Secretary may issue a
17 restricted driving permit for a period deemed
18 appropriate, except that all permits shall expire within
19 one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may
20 not, however, issue a restricted driving permit to any

22 or subsequent conviction for a violation of Section
23 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
24 ordinance relating to the offense of operating or being
25 in physical control of a motor vehicle while under the
26 influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating
27 compound or compounds, or any similar out-of-state
28 offense, or any combination of those offenses, until the
29 expiration of at least one year from the date of the
30 revocation. A restricted driving permit issued under
31 this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
32 revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
33 like manner and for like cause as a driver's license
34 issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or
-12- LRB093 13685 RAS 19075 b
1 suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
2 offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
3 movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
4 the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
5 restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may,
6 as a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
7 permit, require the applicant to participate in a
8 designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program.
9 The Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a
10 restricted driving permit if the permit holder does not
11 successfully complete the program.
12 (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
13 reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
14 whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he

20 Drivers License Compact.
21 (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
22 driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
