16     order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,
17     rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of

18     single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code
19     or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
20     out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension
21     under Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary
22     suspensions, or combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense

8     that person's employer. In each case the Secretary may
9     issue a restricted driving permit for a period deemed
10     appropriate, except that all permits shall expire within
11     one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not,
12     however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person
13     whose current revocation is the result of a second or
14     subsequent conviction for a violation of Section 11-501 of
15     this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
16     relating to the offense of operating or being in physical
17     control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of
18     alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
19     compounds, or any similar out-of-state offense, or any
20     combination of those offenses, until the expiration of at
21     least one year from the date of the revocation. A
22     restricted driving permit issued under this Section shall
23     be subject to cancellation, revocation, and suspension by
24     the Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
25     a driver's license issued under this Code may be cancelled,
26     revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or

 

 

09500HB2140ham001 - 14 - LRB095 01100 DRH 34371 a

1     more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
2     movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
3     the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
4     restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a
5     condition to the issuance of a restricted driving permit,
6     require the applicant to participate in a designated driver
