12 ordinance relating to the offense of operating or being
13 in physical control of a motor vehicle while under the

15 compound or compounds, or any similar out-of-state
16 offense, or any combination of those offenses, until the
17 expiration of at least one year from the date of the
18 revocation. A restricted driving permit issued under
19 this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
20 revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in

22 issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or
23 suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
24 offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
25 movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
26 the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
27 restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may,
28 as a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
29 permit, require the applicant to participate in a
30 designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program.
