| |||||||||||||||||||||

| |||||||||||||||||||||

| |||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 6-201. Authority to cancel licenses and permits.
| |||||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) The Secretary of State is authorized to cancel any | |||||||||||||||||||||
9 | license or permit
upon determining that the holder thereof:
| |||||||||||||||||||||
10 | 1. was not entitled to the issuance thereof hereunder; | |||||||||||||||||||||
11 | or
| |||||||||||||||||||||
12 | 2. failed to give the required or correct information | |||||||||||||||||||||
13 | in his
application; or
| |||||||||||||||||||||
14 | 3. failed to pay any fees, civil penalties owed to the | |||||||||||||||||||||
15 | Illinois Commerce
Commission, or taxes due under this Act | |||||||||||||||||||||
16 | and upon reasonable notice and demand;
or
| |||||||||||||||||||||
17 | 4. committed any fraud in the making of such | |||||||||||||||||||||
18 | application; or
| |||||||||||||||||||||
19 | 5. is ineligible therefor under the provisions of | |||||||||||||||||||||
20 | Section 6-103 of this
Act, as amended; or
| |||||||||||||||||||||
21 | 6. has refused or neglected to submit an alcohol, drug, | |||||||||||||||||||||
22 | and
intoxicating compound evaluation or to
submit to | |||||||||||||||||||||
23 | examination or re-examination as required under this Act; | |||||||||||||||||||||
24 | or
| |||||||||||||||||||||
25 | 7. has been convicted of violating the Cannabis Control | |||||||||||||||||||||
26 | Act,
the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or the Use of | |||||||||||||||||||||
27 | Intoxicating Compounds
Act while that individual was in | |||||||||||||||||||||
28 | actual physical
control of a motor vehicle. For purposes of | |||||||||||||||||||||
29 | this Section, any person placed on
probation under Section | |||||||||||||||||||||
30 | 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the
| |||||||||||||||||||||
31 | Illinois Controlled Substances Act shall not be considered | |||||||||||||||||||||
32 | convicted. Any
person found guilty of this offense, while |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in actual physical control of a
motor vehicle, shall have | ||||||
2 | an entry made in the court record by the
judge that this | ||||||
3 | offense did occur while the person was in actual
physical | ||||||
4 | control of a motor vehicle and order the clerk of the court | ||||||
5 | to report
the violation to the Secretary of State as such. | ||||||
6 | After the cancellation, the
Secretary of State shall not | ||||||
7 | issue a new license or permit for a period of one
year | ||||||
8 | after the date of cancellation. However, upon application, | ||||||
9 | the Secretary
of State may, if satisfied that the person | ||||||
10 | applying will not endanger the
public safety, or welfare, | ||||||
11 | issue a restricted driving permit granting the
privilege of | ||||||
12 | driving a motor vehicle between the person's residence and
| ||||||
13 | person's place of employment or within the scope of the | ||||||
14 | person's employment
related duties, or to allow | ||||||
15 | transportation for
the person or a household member of the | ||||||
16 | person's family for the receipt of
necessary medical care | ||||||
17 | or, if the professional evaluation indicates,
provide | ||||||
18 | transportation for the petitioner for alcohol remedial or
| ||||||
19 | rehabilitative activity, or for the person to attend | ||||||
20 | classes, as a student,
in an accredited educational | ||||||
21 | institution; if the person is able to
demonstrate that no | ||||||
22 | alternative means of transportation is reasonably
| ||||||
23 | available; provided that the Secretary's discretion shall | ||||||
24 | be limited to
cases where undue hardship would result from | ||||||
25 | a failure to issue such
restricted driving permit. In each | ||||||
26 | case the Secretary of State may issue
such restricted | ||||||
27 | driving permit for such period as he deems appropriate,
| ||||||
28 | except that such permit shall expire within one year from | ||||||
29 | the date of
issuance. A restricted driving permit issued | ||||||
30 | hereunder shall be subject to
cancellation, revocation and | ||||||
31 | suspension by the Secretary of State in like
manner and for | ||||||
32 | like cause as a driver's license issued hereunder may be
| ||||||
33 | cancelled, revoked or suspended; except that a conviction | ||||||
34 | upon one or more
offenses against laws or ordinances | ||||||
35 | regulating the movement of traffic
shall be deemed | ||||||
36 | sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension or
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The Secretary | ||||||
2 | of State may,
as a condition to the issuance of a | ||||||
3 | restricted driving permit, require the
applicant to | ||||||
4 | participate in a driver remedial or rehabilitative
| ||||||
5 | program; or
| ||||||
6 | 8. failed to submit a report as required by Section | ||||||
7 | 6-116.5 of this
Code ; or . | ||||||
8 | 9. has refused or failed to submit to an examination | ||||||
9 | provided for by Section 6-207 or has failed to pass the | ||||||
10 | examination.
| ||||||
11 | (b) Upon such cancellation the licensee or permittee must | ||||||
12 | surrender the
license or permit so cancelled to the Secretary | ||||||
13 | of State.
| ||||||
14 | (c) Except as provided in Sections 6-206.1 and 7-702.1,
the | ||||||
15 | Secretary of State
shall have exclusive authority to grant, | ||||||
16 | issue, deny, cancel, suspend and
revoke driving privileges, | ||||||
17 | drivers' licenses and restricted driving permits.
| ||||||

89-584, eff. 7-31-96; 90-779, | ||||||

| ||||||
20 | (625 ILCS 5/6-207) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-207)
| ||||||
21 | Sec. 6-207. Secretary of State may require reexamination or | ||||||
22 | reissuance of a
license.
| ||||||
23 | (a) The Secretary of State, having good cause to believe | ||||||
24 | that a licensed
driver or person holding a permit or applying | ||||||
25 | for a license or license
renewal is incompetent or otherwise | ||||||
26 | not qualified to hold a license or
permit, may upon written | ||||||
27 | notice of at least 5 days to the person require the
person to | ||||||
28 | submit to an examination as prescribed by the Secretary.
| ||||||
29 | Refusal or neglect of the person to submit an alcohol, | ||||||
30 | drug, or
intoxicating compound evaluation or
submit to or | ||||||
31 | failure to successfully complete the examination is
grounds for | ||||||
32 | suspension of the person's license or permit under
Section | ||||||
33 | 6-206 of this Act or cancellation of his license or permit | ||||||
34 | under
Section 6-201 of this Act.
| ||||||
35 | (b) The Secretary of State, having issued a driver's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | license or
permit in error, may upon written notice of at least | ||||||
2 | 5 days to the person,
require the person to appear at a Driver | ||||||
3 | Services facility to have the
license or permit error corrected | ||||||
4 | and a new license or permit issued.
| ||||||
5 | Refusal or neglect of the person to appear is grounds for | ||||||
6 | cancellation of
the person's license or permit under Section | ||||||
7 | 6-201 of this Act.
| ||||||
8 | (c) The Secretary of State, having received notice that a | ||||||
9 | licensed
driver or person holding a permit or applying for a | ||||||
10 | license or license
renewal has been involved as a driver in an | ||||||
11 | accident that caused personal injury or death to a pedestrian, | ||||||
12 | must upon written notice of at least 5 days to the person | ||||||
13 | require the
person to submit to an examination as prescribed by | ||||||
14 | the Secretary. | ||||||
15 | Refusal or neglect of the person to submit to or failure to | ||||||
16 | successfully complete the examination is
grounds for | ||||||
17 | suspension of the person's license or permit under
Section | ||||||
18 | 6-206 of this Act or cancellation of his license or permit | ||||||
19 | under
Section 6-201 of this Act.
