revocation or shall substitute an | 7 | | order of suspension; or, good
cause appearing therefor, | 8 | | rescind, continue, change, or extend the
order of | 9 | | suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the | 10 | | order,

petitioner must demonstrate that no alternative means | 4 | | of
transportation is reasonably available and that the | 5 | | petitioner will not endanger
the public safety or welfare. | 6 | | Those multiple offenders identified in subdivision (b)4 of | 7 | | Section 6-208 of this Code, however, shall not be eligible | 8 | | for the issuance of a restricted driving permit.
| 9 | |
(A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or | 10 | | suspended due to 2
or more convictions of violating | 11 | | Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
provision of a | 12 | | local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or | 13 | | Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | 14 | | Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or | 15 | | other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or | 16 | | a similar out-of-state offense, or a combination of | 17 | | these offenses, arising out
of separate occurrences, | 18 | | that person, if issued a restricted driving permit,
may | 19 | | not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with | 20 | | an ignition
interlock device as defined in Section | 21 | | 1-129.1.
| 22 | | (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or | 23 | | suspended 2 or more
times within a 10 year period due | 24 | | to any combination of: | 25 | | (i) a single conviction of violating Section
| 26 | | 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a |
| | | 09800SB1479sam002 | - 14 - | LRB098 10147 MLW 44571 a |
|
| 1 | | local ordinance or a similar
out-of-state offense | 2 | | or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | 3 | | Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or | 4 | | other drugs is recited as an element of the | 5 | | offense, or a similar out-of-state offense; or | 6 | | (ii) a statutory summary suspension or | 7 | | revocation under Section
11-501.1; or | 8 | | (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1; | 9 | | arising out of
separate occurrences; that person, if | 10 | | issued a restricted driving permit, may
not operate a | 11 | | vehicle unless it has been
equipped with an ignition | 12 | | interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. | 13 | | (C)

| 16 | | not to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall | 17 | | establish by rule the amount
and the procedures, terms, | 18 | | and conditions relating to these fees. | 19 | | (D) If the
restricted driving permit is issued for | 20 | | employment purposes, then the prohibition against | 21 | | operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an | 22 | | ignition interlock device does not apply to the | 23 | | operation of an occupational vehicle owned or
leased by | 24 | | that person's employer when used solely for employment | 25 | | purposes. | 26 | | (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
|
| | | 09800SB1479sam002 | - 15 - | LRB098 10147 MLW 44571 a |
|
| 1 | | restricted driving permit for a period deemed | 2 | | appropriate, except that all
permits shall expire | 3 | | within one year from the date of issuance. The | 4 | | Secretary
may not, however, issue a restricted driving | 5 | | permit to any person whose current
revocation is the | 6 | | result of a second or subsequent conviction for a | 7 | | violation
of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar | 8 | | provision of a local ordinance
or any similar | 9 | | out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal | 10 | | Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, where the | 11 | | use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element | 12 | | of the offense, or any similar out-of-state offense, or | 13 | | any combination
of those offenses, until the | 14 | | expiration of at least one year from the date of
the | 15 | | revocation. A
restricted driving permit issued under | 16 | | this Section shall be subject to
cancellation, | 17 | | revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in | 18 | | like
manner and for like cause as a driver's license | 19 | | issued under this Code may be
cancelled, revoked, or | 20 | | suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
| 21 | | offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the | 22 | | movement of traffic
shall be deemed sufficient cause | 23 | | for the revocation, suspension, or
cancellation of a | 24 | | restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, | 25 | | as
a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving | 26 | | permit, require the
applicant to participate in a |
| | | 09800SB1479sam002 | - 16 - | LRB098 10147 MLW 44571 a |
|
| 1 | | designated driver remedial or rehabilitative
program. | 2 | | The Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a | 3 | | restricted
driving permit if the permit holder does not | 4 | | successfully complete the program.
| 5 | | (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of | 6 | | subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State | 7 | | under this Section shall, except during the actual time the | 8 | | suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use | 9 | | only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities, | 10 | | the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the | 11 | | Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver | 12 | | under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the | 13 | | person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made | 14 | | available to the driver licensing administrator of any other | 15 | | state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected | 16 | | driver or motor
carrier or prospective motor carrier upon | 17 | | request.
