14        (c)  Whenever  a  person  is  convicted  of  any  of  the
15    offenses enumerated in this Section, the court may  recommend
16    and  the Secretary of State in his discretion, without regard
17    to whether the recommendation is made by the court, may, upon
18    application, issue to the person a restricted driving  permit
19    granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the
20    petitioner's  residence  and petitioner's place of employment
21    or within the scope of the  petitioner's  employment  related
22    duties,  or  to  allow transportation for the petitioner or a
23    household member of the petitioner's family for  the  receipt
24    of  necessary medical care or, if the professional evaluation

26    alcohol  remedial  or  rehabilitative  activity,  or  for the

30    reasonably available and the petitioner will not endanger the
31    public  safety  or  welfare;  provided  that  the Secretary's
32    discretion shall be limited to  cases  where  undue  hardship
33    would  result  from a failure to issue the restricted driving
34    permit. In each case the  Secretary  of  State  may  issue  a
                            -4-            LRB9008408RCksam01
 1    restricted  driving permit for a period he deems appropriate,
 2    except that the permit shall expire within one year from  the
 3    date  of  issuance.  A restricted driving permit issued under
 4    this Section shall be subject  to  cancellation,  revocation,
 5    and  suspension  by the Secretary of State in like manner and
 6    for like cause as a driver's license issued under  this  Code
 7    may  be  cancelled,  revoked,  or  suspended;  except  that a
 8    conviction  upon  one  or  more  offenses  against  laws   or
 9    ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed
10    sufficient   cause   for   the   revocation,  suspension,  or
11    cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The Secretary of
12    State may, as a condition to the  issuance  of  a  restricted
13    driving  permit,  require  the  applicant to participate in a
14    designated driver remedial  or  rehabilitative  program.  The
15    Secretary  of  State  is  authorized  to  cancel a restricted
16    driving permit if the permit  holder  does  not  successfully
17    complete  the  program.  However,  if an individual's driving
18    privileges have been revoked in accordance with paragraph  13
19    of  subsection  (a)  of  this  Section, no restricted driving
20    permit shall be issued until  the  individual  has  served  6
21    months of the revocation period.
22        (d)  Whenever  a  person under the age of 21 is convicted
23    under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
24    local ordinance, the Secretary  of  State  shall  revoke  the
25    driving  privileges  of that person.  One year after the date
26    of revocation, and upon application, the Secretary  of  State
27    may,  if satisfied that the person applying will not endanger
28    the public safety or  welfare,  issue  a  restricted  driving
29    permit granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle only
30    between  the  hours  of  5  a.m.  and  9 p.m. or as otherwise
31    provided by this Section for a period of  one  year.    After
32    this one year period, and upon reapplication for a license as
33    provided  in  Section  6-106, upon payment of the appropriate
34    reinstatement fee provided under  paragraph  (b)  of  Section
                            -5-            LRB9008408RCksam01
 1    6-118,  the  Secretary of State, in his discretion, may issue
 2    the applicant a license, or  extend  the  restricted  driving
 3    permit  as  many  times  as  the  Secretary  of  State  deems
 4    appropriate, by additional periods of not more than 12 months
 5    each,  until  the  applicant  attains  21  years  of  age.  A
 6    restricted driving permit issued under this Section shall  be
 7    subject  to  cancellation,  revocation, and suspension by the
 8    Secretary of State in like manner and for  like  cause  as  a
 9    driver's  license  issued  under  this Code may be cancelled,
10    revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon  one  or
11    more  offenses  against  laws  or  ordinances  regulating the
12    movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for  the
13    revocation,  suspension,  or  cancellation  of  a  restricted
14    driving  permit.   Any person under 21 years of age who has a
15    driver's  license  revoked  for  a   second   or   subsequent
16    conviction  for driving under the influence, prior to the age
17    of 21, shall not be eligible to submit an application  for  a
18    full  reinstatement  of  driving  privileges  or a restricted
19    driving permit until age 21 or one additional year  from  the
20    date  of the latest such revocation, whichever is the longer.
21    The revocation periods contained in this  subparagraph  shall
22    apply to similar out-of-state convictions.
23        (e)  This  Section  is  subject  to the provisions of the
24    Driver License Compact.
25        (f)  Any  revocation  imposed  upon  any   person   under
26    subsections  2  and  3  of paragraph (b) that is in effect on
27    December 31, 1988 shall be converted to a  suspension  for  a
28    like period of time.
29        (g)  The  Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
30    driving permit to a person under the age of  16  years  whose
31    driving  privileges have been revoked under any provisions of
32    this Code.
