8     an occupation shall not be suspended, provided an affidavit

15     or continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an
16     order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,
17     rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of
18     suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the
19     order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue
20     hardship, issue a restricted driving permit granting the
21     privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the
22     petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of
23     employment or within the scope of his employment related
24     duties, or to allow transportation for the petitioner, or a
25     household member of the petitioner's family, to receive
26     necessary medical care and if the professional evaluation

1     indicates, provide transportation for alcohol remedial or
2     rehabilitative activity, or for the petitioner to attend
3     classes, as a student, in an accredited educational
4     institution; if the petitioner is able to demonstrate that
5     no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
6     available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
7     safety or welfare.
8         If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
9     suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
10     11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
11     ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of
12     separate occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
13     driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
14     been equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined
15     in Section 1-129.1.
16         If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
17     suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to a
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
23     and a statutory summary suspension, arising out of separate
24     occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
25     permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been

09500HB3131ham002 - 16 - LRB095 06798 DRH 35080 a

1     Section 1-129.1. The person must pay to the Secretary of
2     State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $20
3     per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount
4     and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these
5     fees. If the restricted driving permit was issued for
6     employment purposes, then this provision does not apply to
7     the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
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

 

 

09500HB3131ham002 - 17 - LRB095 06798 DRH 35080 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
7     remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State
8     is authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
9     permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
10     (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
11 subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State
