6 device as defined in Section 1-129.1. The person must
7 pay to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an
8 amount not to exceed $20 per month. The Secretary shall
9 establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,

14 employer. In each case the Secretary may issue a
15 restricted driving permit for a period deemed
16 appropriate, except that all permits shall expire within
17 one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may
18 not, however, issue a restricted driving permit to any

22 ordinance relating to the offense of operating or being
23 in physical control of a motor vehicle while under the
24 influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating
25 compound or compounds, or any similar out-of-state
26 offense, or any combination of those offenses, until the
27 expiration of at least one year from the date of the
28 revocation. A restricted driving permit issued under
29 this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
30 revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
31 like manner and for like cause as a driver's license
32 issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or
33 suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
34 offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
-15- LRB093 08385 DRH 08605 b
1 movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
2 the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
3 restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may,
4 as a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
5 permit, require the applicant to participate in a
6 designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program.
7 The Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a
8 restricted driving permit if the permit holder does not
9 successfully complete the program.
10 (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
11 reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
12 whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
