A restricted driving permit issued under this 13 Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation, and 14 suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and 15 for like cause as a driver's license issued under this 16 Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that 17 a conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or 18 ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be 19 deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, 20 or cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The 21 Secretary of State may, as a condition to the issuance of 22 a restricted driving permit, require the applicant to 23 participate in a designated driver remedial or 24 rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is 25 authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the 26 permit holder does not successfully complete the program. 27 (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the 28 reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant 29 whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he 30 or she reached the age of 18 years pursuant to any of the 31 provisions of this Section, require the applicant to 32 participate in a driver remedial education course and be 33 retested under Section 6-109 of this Code. 34 (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the -11- LRB9214852RCcd 1 Drivers License Compact. 2 (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted 3 driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose 4 driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any 5 provisions of this Code. 6 (f) The Secretary of State shall suspend the driver's 7 license of a person convicted of a violation of Section 3.7 8 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act for a period of 12 9 months from the date of the defendant's sentence for a 10 violation of that Section. 11 (Source: P.A. 92-283, eff. 1-1-02; 92-418, eff. 8-17-01; 12 92-458, eff. 8-22-01; revised 8-27-01.) 13 Section 10.
