21        out  of  separate  occurrences,  that person, if issued a
22        restricted driving permit,  may  not  operate  a  vehicle
23        unless  it  has  been equipped with an ignition interlock
24        device as defined in Section 1-129.1. The person must pay
25        to the Secretary of  State  DUI  Administration  Fund  an
26        amount  not to exceed $20 per month.  The Secretary shall
27        establish by rule the amount and the  procedures,  terms,
28        and  conditions relating to these fees. If the restricted
29        driving permit was issued for employment  purposes,  then
30        this  provision  does  not  apply  to the operation of an
31        occupational vehicle owned or  leased  by  that  person's
32        employer.   In  each  case  the  Secretary  may  issue  a
33        restricted   driving   permit   for   a   period   deemed
34        appropriate, except that all permits shall expire  within
 
                            -10-               LRB9214852RCcd
 1        one  year  from  the  date of issuance. The Secretary may
 2        not, however, issue a restricted driving  permit  to  any
 3        person whose current revocation is the result of a second
 4        or  subsequent  conviction  for  a  violation  of Section
 5        11-501 of this Code or a similar  provision  of  a  local
 6        ordinance  relating  to the offense of operating or being
 7        in physical control of a motor vehicle  while  under  the
 8        influence  of  alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating
 9        compound  or  compounds,  or  any  similar   out-of-state
10        offense,  or any combination of those offenses, until the
11        expiration of at least one year  from  the  date  of  the
12        revocation. 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.
