revocation or shall substitute an | order of suspension; or, good
cause appearing therefor, | rescind, continue, change, or extend the
order of | suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the | order,
the Secretary may upon application,
to relieve undue | hardship (as defined by the rules of the Secretary of | State), issue
a restricted driving permit granting the | privilege of driving a motor
vehicle between the | petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of
| employment or within the scope of the petitioner's | employment related duties, or to
allow transportation for | the petitioner, or a household member of the
petitioner's | family, to receive necessary medical care, provide | transportation to and from alcohol or drug
remedial or | rehabilitative activity recommended by a licensed service | provider, or for the petitioner to attend
classes, as a | student, in an accredited educational institution. The
| petitioner must demonstrate that no alternative means of
| transportation is reasonably available and that the | petitioner will not endanger
the public safety or welfare. | Those multiple offenders identified in subdivision (b)4 of | Section 6-208 of this Code, however, shall not be eligible | for the issuance of a restricted driving permit.
|
(A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or | suspended due to 2
or more convictions of violating |
| Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
provision of a | local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or | Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use | of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of | the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a | combination of these offenses, arising out
of separate | occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted | driving permit,
may not operate a vehicle unless it has | been equipped with an ignition
interlock device as | defined in Section 1-129.1.
| (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or | suspended 2 or more
times within a 10 year period due | to any combination of: | (i) a single conviction of violating Section
| 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a | local ordinance or a similar
out-of-state offense | or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where | the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an | element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state | offense; or | (ii) a statutory summary suspension under | Section
11-501.1; or | (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1 ; , | arising out of
separate occurrences ; , that person, if | issued a restricted driving permit, may
not operate a | vehicle unless it has been
equipped with an ignition |
| interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. | (C)
The person must pay to the Secretary of State | DUI Administration Fund an amount
not to exceed $20 per | month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount
| and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to | these fees. | (D) If the
restricted driving permit is issued for | employment purposes, then the prohibition against | operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an | ignition interlock device does not apply to the | operation of an occupational vehicle owned or
leased by | that person's employer when used solely for employment | purposes. | (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
| restricted driving permit for a period deemed | appropriate, except that all
permits shall expire | within one year from the date of issuance. The | Secretary
may not, however, issue a restricted driving | permit to any person whose current
revocation is the | result of a second or subsequent conviction for a | violation
of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar | provision of a local ordinance
or any similar | out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal | Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or other drugs | is recited as an element of the offense, or any similar | out-of-state offense, or any combination
of those |
| offenses, until the expiration of at least one year | from the date of
the revocation. A
restricted driving | permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
| cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the | Secretary of State in like
manner and for like cause as | a driver's license issued under this Code may be
| cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a | conviction upon one or more
offenses against laws or | ordinances regulating the movement of traffic
shall be | deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, | suspension, or
cancellation of a restricted driving | permit. The Secretary of State may, as
a condition to | the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require | the
applicant to participate in a designated driver | remedial or rehabilitative
program. The Secretary of | State is authorized to cancel a restricted
driving | permit if the permit holder does not successfully | complete the program.
| (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of | subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State | under this Section shall, except during the actual time the | suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use | only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities, | the driver licensing administrator of any other state, or the | Secretary of State. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the | person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made |
| available to the driver licensing administrator of any other | state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected | driver or motor
carrier or prospective motor carrier upon | request.
| (c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of | subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person | by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license | will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of | the notice.
| (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the | reissuance of a
driver's license or permit to an applicant | whose driver's license or permit has
been suspended before he | or she reached the age of 18 years pursuant to any of
the | provisions of this Section, require the applicant to | participate in a
driver remedial education course and be | retested under Section 6-109 of this
Code.
| (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the | Drivers License
Compact.
| (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted | driving permit to
a person under the age of 16 years whose | driving privileges have been suspended
or revoked under any | provisions of this Code.
| (f) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of | State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the | operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a | CDL whose driving privileges have been suspended, revoked, |
| cancelled, or disqualified under any provisions of this Code. | (Source: P.A. 94-307, eff. 9-30-05; 94-556, eff. 9-11-05; | 94-930, eff. 6-26-06; 95-166, eff. 1-1-08; 95-310, eff. 1-1-08; | 95-382, eff. 8-23-07; 95-400, eff. 1-1-09; 95-627, eff. 6-1-08; | revised 2-7-08.)
