(c) 1. Upon suspending or revoking the driver's license or permit of any person as authorized in this Section, the Secretary of State shall immediately notify the person in writing of the revocation or suspension. The notice to be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, to the last known address of the person.

2. If the Secretary of State suspends the driver's license of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) of this Section, a person's privilege to operate a vehicle as an occupation shall not be suspended, provided an affidavit is properly completed, the appropriate fee received, and a permit issued prior to the effective date of the suspension, unless 5 offenses were committed, at least 2 of which occurred while operating a commercial vehicle in connection with the driver's regular occupation. All other driving privileges shall be suspended by the Secretary of State. Any driver prior to operating a vehicle for occupational purposes only must submit the affidavit on forms to be provided by the Secretary of State setting forth the facts of the person's occupation. The affidavit shall also state the number of offenses committed while operating a vehicle in connection with the driver's regular occupation. The affidavit shall be accompanied by the driver's license. Upon receipt of a properly completed affidavit, the Secretary of State shall issue the driver a permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the driver's regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the privilege to drive any motor vehicle shall be suspended as set forth in the notice that was mailed under this Section. If an affidavit is received subsequent to the effective date of this suspension, a permit may be issued for the remainder of the suspension period.

The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to any driver required to possess a CDL for the purpose of operating a commercial motor vehicle.

Any person who falsely states any fact in the affidavit required herein shall be guilty of perjury under Section 6-302 and upon conviction thereof shall have all driving privileges revoked without further rights.

3. At the conclusion of a hearing under Section 2-118 of this Code, the Secretary of State shall either rescind or continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor, rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue hardship, issue a restricted driving permit granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of employment or within the scope of his employment related duties, or to allow transportation for the petitioner, or a household member of the petitioner's family, to receive necessary medical care and if the professional evaluation indicates, provide transportation for alcohol remedial or rehabilitative activity, or for the petitioner to attend classes, as a student, in an accredited educational institution; if the petitioner is able to demonstrate that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably available and the petitioner will not endanger the public safety or welfare.

If a person's license or permit has been revoked or suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of separate occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.

If a person's license or permit has been revoked or suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to a single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension under Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary suspensions, or combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense and a statutory summary suspension, arising out of separate occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. The person must pay to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $20 per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these fees. If the restricted driving permit was issued for employment purposes, then this provision does not apply to the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that person's employer. In each case the Secretary may issue a restricted driving permit for a period deemed appropriate, except that all permits shall expire within one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not, however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person whose current revocation is the result of a second or subsequent conviction for a violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance relating to the offense of operating or being in physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or any similar out-of-state offense, or any combination of those offenses, until the expiration of at least one year from the date of the revocation. A restricted driving permit issued under this Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require the applicant to participate in a designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the permit holder does not successfully complete the program.

(c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he or she reached the age of 18 years pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section, require the applicant to participate in a driver remedial education course and be retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.

(d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the Drivers License Compact.

(e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any provisions of this Code.

(f) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a CDL whose driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any provisions of this Code.

(625 ILCS 5/6-206.1) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-206.1)

Sec. 6-206.1. Monitoring device driver's license Judicial Driving Permit. Declaration of Policy. It is hereby declared a policy of the State of Illinois that the driver who is impaired by alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds is a threat to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, to provide a deterrent to such practice and to remove problem drivers from the highway, a statutory summary driver's license suspension is appropriate. It is also recognized that driving is a privilege and therefore, that in some cases the granting of limited driving privileges, where consistent with public safety, is warranted during the period of suspension in the form of a monitoring device driver's license. A person who drives and fails to comply with the requirements of the monitoring device driver's license commits a violation of Section 6-303 of this Code a judicial driving permit to drive for the purpose of employment, receiving drug treatment or medical care, and educational pursuits, where no alternative means of transportation is available.

The following procedures shall apply whenever a first offender is arrested for any offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance:

(a) Subsequent to a notification of a statutory summary suspension of driving privileges as provided in Section 11-501.1, the Secretary of State shall issue to the first offender as defined in Section 11-500, if he or she has otherwise valid driving privileges, a monitoring device driver's license. This license shall be issued only to a first offender as defined in Section 11-500 whose license had been suspended because of that offense. This license is valid only with respect to the present suspension, not with respect to any subsequent suspension or any concurrent suspension for a separate offense. A monitoring device driver's license may petition the circuit court of venue for a Judicial Driving Permit, hereinafter referred as a JDP, to relieve undue hardship. The court may issue a court order, pursuant to the criteria contained in this Section, directing the Secretary of State to issue such a JDP to the petitioner. A JDP shall not become effective prior to the 31st day of the original statutory summary suspension and shall not be issued by the Secretary of State until the person provides proof of installation of an approved ignition interlock device, as defined in Section 1-129.1, or an alternative alcohol monitoring device, as defined in Section 1-101.9. The Secretary of State may not be required to issue a monitoring device driver's license for a person who wishes to serve the statutory summary suspension of his or her driving privileges as provided in Section 11-501.1 without the capacity to drive; however, (1) if that person is found guilty of the underlying DUI offense that is the basis for the suspension or is found guilty of reckless driving resulting from a negotiated plea from that underlying DUI offense, that person shall be required to have a monitoring device driver's license for 12 months as a condition of any sentence imposed by the court or as a condition of the reinstatement of the person's driving privileges by the Secretary of State; or (2) if the person is found not guilty, after a trial, of the underlying DUI offense that is the basis for the suspension, that person shall not be required to have a monitoring device driver's license as a condition of the reinstatement of the person's driving privileges by the Secretary of State.

(a-1) A person issued a monitoring device driver's license may drive for any purpose and at any time, subject to the rules adopted by the Secretary of State under subsection (h). The person must, at his or her own expense, drive only vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1 and pay a fee of $0.15 per day to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund. If the person, under penalty of perjury, certifies to the Secretary of State that he or she does not own, control, or have access to any vehicles on which an ignition interlock device could be installed, he or she must use an alternative alcohol monitoring device as defined in Section 1-101.9 and pay a fee of $0.15 per day to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund. The Secretary of State shall not issue a monitoring device driver's license to any person for the operation of a commercial vehicle if the person's driving privileges have been suspended under any provision of this Code in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 384.

(a-2) Individuals who are issued a monitoring device driver's license and are required to drive employer-owned vehicles for employment purposes may have their employer complete a form, prescribed by the Secretary of State, indicating that the person may drive, for employment purposes only, a vehicle owned by the person's employer that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device. The person may not use this exemption to drive a school bus, school vehicle, or a vehicle designed to transport more than 15 passengers. The person may not use the exemption to drive an employer-owned motor vehicle that is owned by an entity that is wholly or partially owned by the person holding the monitoring device driver's license. The person may not use the exemption to drive an employer-owned vehicle that is made available to the employee for personal use. The person may not drive the exempted vehicle more than 12 hours per day, 6 days per week. The form must be completed in its entirety and be in the driver's possession while operating an employer-owned vehicle not equipped with an ignition interlock device. and shall always be subject to the following criteria:

1. If ordered for the purposes of employment, the JDP shall be only for the purpose of providing the petitioner the privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the petitioner's residence and the petitioner's place of employment and return; or within the scope of the petitioner's employment related duties, shall be effective only during and limited to those specific times and routes actually required to commute or perform the petitioner's employment related duties.

2. The court, by a court order, may also direct the Secretary of State to issue a JDP to allow transportation for the petitioner, or a household member of the petitioner's family, to receive alcohol, drug, or intoxicating compound treatment or medical care, if the petitioner is able to demonstrate that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably available. Such JDP shall be effective only during the specific times actually required to commute.

3. The court, by a court order, may also direct the Secretary of State to issue a JDP to allow transportation by the petitioner for educational purposes upon demonstrating that there are no alternative means of transportation reasonably available to accomplish those educational purposes. Such JDP shall be only for the purpose of providing transportation to and from the petitioner's residence and the petitioner's place of educational activity, and only during the specific times and routes actually required to commute or perform the petitioner's educational requirement.

4. The Court shall not issue an order granting a JDP to:

(i) Any person unless and until the court, after considering the results of a current professional evaluation of the person's alcohol or other drug use by an agency pursuant to Section 15-10 of the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act and other appropriate investigation of the person, is satisfied that granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle on the highways will not endanger the public safety or welfare.

(ii) Any person who has been convicted of reckless homicide within the previous 5 years.

(iii) Any person whose privilege to operate a motor vehicle was invalid at the time of arrest for the current violation of Section 11-501, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, except in cases where the cause for a driver's license suspension has been removed at the time a JDP is effective. In any case, should the Secretary of State enter a suspension or revocation of driving privileges pursuant to the provisions of this Code while the JDP is in effect or pending, the Secretary shall take the prescribed action and provide a notice to the person and the court ordering the issuance of the JDP that all driving privileges, including those provided by the issuance of the JDP, have been withdrawn.

(iv) Any person under the age of 18 years.

(v) Any person for the operation of a commercial motor vehicle if the person's driving privileges have been suspended under any provision of this Code in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 384.

(b) (Blank). Prior to ordering the issuance of a JDP the Court should consider at least, but not be limited to, the following issues:

1. Whether the person is employed and no other means of commuting to the place of employment is available or that the person must drive as a condition of employment. The employer shall certify the hours of employment and the need and parameters necessary for driving as a condition to employment.

2. Whether the person must drive to secure alcohol or other medical treatment for himself or a family member.

3. Whether the person must drive for educational purposes. The educational institution shall certify the person's enrollment in and academic schedule at the institution.

4. Whether the person has been repeatedly convicted of traffic violations or involved in motor vehicle accidents to a degree which indicates disrespect for public safety.

5. Whether the person has been convicted of a traffic violation in connection with a traffic accident resulting in the death of any person within the last 5 years.

6. Whether the person is likely to obey the limited provisions of the JDP.

7. Whether the person has any additional traffic violations pending in any court.

For purposes of this Section, programs conducting professional evaluations of a person's alcohol, other drug, or intoxicating compound use must report, to the court of venue, using a form prescribed by the Secretary of State. A copy of such evaluations shall be sent to the Secretary of State by the court. However, the evaluation information shall be privileged and only available to courts and to the Secretary of State, but shall not be admissible in the subsequent trial on the underlying charge.

(c) (Blank). The scope of any court order issued for a JDP under this Section shall be limited to the operation of a motor vehicle as provided for in subsection (a) of this Section and shall specify the petitioner's residence, place of employment or location of educational institution, and the scope of job related duties, if relevant. The JDP shall also specify days of the week and specific hours of the day when the petitioner is able to exercise the limited privilege of operating a motor vehicle.

(c-1) If the petitioner is issued a citation for a violation of Section 6-303 during the period of a statutory summary suspension entered under Section 11-501.1 of this Code, or if the petitioner is charged with a violation of Section 11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar out of state offense which occurs after the current violation of Section 11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance, the court may not grant the petitioner a JDP unless the petitioner is acquitted or the citation or complaint is otherwise dismissed. If the person petitioner is issued a citation for a violation of Section 6-303 or a violation of Section 11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar out of state offense during the term of the monitoring device driver's license JDP, the officer issuing the citation, or the law enforcement agency employing that officer, shall confiscate the monitoring device driver's license JDP and immediately send the monitoring device driver's license JDP and notice of the citation to the Secretary of State court that ordered the issuance of the JDP. Within 10 days of receipt, the Secretary of State issuing court, upon notice to the person petitioner, shall conduct a hearing to consider cancellation of the monitoring device driver's license JDP. If the court enters an order of cancellation, the court shall forward the order to the Secretary of State, and the Secretary shall cancel the JDP and notify the petitioner of the cancellation. If, however, the person petitioner is convicted of the offense before the monitoring device driver's license JDP has been cancelled, the court of venue shall send notice of conviction to the court that ordered issuance of the JDP. The court receiving the notice shall immediately enter an order of cancellation and forward the order to the Secretary of State. The Secretary shall cancel the monitoring device driver's license JDP and notify the person petitioner of the cancellation.

If the person petitioner is issued a citation for any other traffic related offense during the term of the monitoring device driver's license JDP, the officer issuing the citation, or the law enforcement agency employing that officer, shall send notice of the citation to the Secretary of State court that ordered issuance of the JDP. Upon receipt and notice to the person petitioner and an opportunity for a hearing, the Secretary of State court shall determine whether the violation constitutes grounds for cancellation of the monitoring device driver's license JDP. If the court enters an order of cancellation, the court shall forward the order to the Secretary of State, and the Secretary shall cancel the JDP and shall notify the petitioner of the cancellation.

(c-5) A person required to have a monitoring device driver's license shall be considered indigent if his or her gross income for the immediately preceding tax year based on his or her State income tax return was less than 150% of the official poverty line for that same tax year established in the poverty guidelines issued by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under authority of Section 673(2) of the Community Services Block Grant Act, Subtitle B of Title VI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, Public Law 97-35, 42 U.S.C. 9902. To prove indigence, the person must complete an application, under penalty of perjury, as prescribed by the Secretary of State, and provide the application and supporting documentation to the provider of ignition interlock devices, upon which the device provider shall provide an ignition interlock device without cost to the indigent person. The device provider shall forward the application and supporting documentation to the Secretary of State and seek reimbursement from the Alcohol Monitoring Device Fund in an amount prescribed by the standard fee schedule established by the Secretary of State for Alcohol Monitoring Device Fund reimbursements.

(k) A person found to be in violation of the requirements of his or her monitoring device driver's license shall have the statutory summary suspension of his or her driving privileges extended for an additional 3 months beyond the imposed suspension period. Any subsequent violation of these requirements shall extend the suspension for another 3 months, meaning that the suspension of the driving privileges of a person who continues to fail to meet these requirements could be extended indefinitely.

(l) The rules adopted under subsection (g) shall provide that a person whose driving privileges have been suspended under Section 6-208.1 or 6-208.2 shall not have those privileges restored by the Secretary of State until he or she has been found by the Secretary of State to be in compliance with the requirements of the monitoring device driver's license.

(n) Upon the Secretary of State receiving notice of a violation of the requirements of a monitoring device driver's license, the Secretary of State shall extend the term of the monitoring device driver's license for 3 months beyond the term of the current monitoring device driver's license or any previously imposed extension. The Secretary of State shall notify the person, and the entity providing service to that person, that the monitoring device driver's license term is being extended. The person shall be entitled to a hearing on the extension of the restriction. Based upon findings at the hearing, including aggravating and mitigating factors, the hearing officer may sustain the extension, rescind the extension, or reduce the period of extension. The Secretary of State shall also require the person to submit to a DUI evaluation and complete any recommended treatment.

The amount charged shall be clearly indicated as a separate surcharge on each invoice that any person or entity that is authorized to provide either ignition interlock devices or alternative alcohol monitoring devices issues to any person using the devices. The Secretary of State shall conduct an annual review of the fund to determine whether the deposit level is sufficient to provide for indigent users. The Secretary of State may increase or decrease this deposit requirement as needed. Annually, the Secretary of State shall establish a standard fee schedule for claims against the Alcohol Monitoring Device Fund based on the average of the charges for a particular service assessed by the approved providers at the time of the annual review.

(p) The rules adopted under subsection (g) shall provide that, if a person or entity that supplies the ignition interlock devices or alternative alcohol monitoring devices required under this Section to offenders in this State is requested to provide one of those devices to a person who presents evidence that he or she is indigent, as provided in subsection (c-5) of this Section, the person or entity shall supply the device to the person and shall seek reimbursement from the Alcohol Monitoring Device Fund.

(q) The Alcohol Monitoring Device Fund is created as a special fund in the State treasury. The Secretary of State shall, subject to appropriation by the General Assembly, use all moneys in the Alcohol Monitoring Device Fund to supply ignition interlock devices to indigent persons who are required under this Section to have these devices installed in their vehicles and to supply alternative alcohol monitoring devices to indigent persons who are required under this Section to use these devices.

(r) The rules adopted under subsection (g) shall provide that a person or entity that supplies ignition interlock devices or alternative monitoring devices required under this Section to offenders in this State shall, for each ignition interlock device the person or entity installs in a vehicle or for each alternative alcohol monitoring device the person or entity supplies to a person, collect from the person $0.15 for each day a device is in service and pay the funds into the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund.

The person shall also be warned by the law enforcement officer that if the person submits to the test or tests provided in paragraph (a) of this Section and the alcohol concentration in the person's blood or breath is 0.08 or greater, or any amount of a drug, substance, or compound resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis as covered by the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act is detected in the person's blood or urine, a statutory summary suspension of the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle, as provided in Sections 6-208.1 and 11-501.1 of this Code, will be imposed.

A person who is under the age of 21 at the time the person is requested to submit to a test as provided above shall, in addition to the warnings provided for in this Section, be further warned by the law enforcement officer requesting the test that if the person submits to the test or tests provided in paragraph (a) of this Section and the alcohol concentration in the person's blood or breath is greater than 0.00 and less than 0.08, a suspension of the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle, as provided under Sections 6-208.2 and 11-501.8 of this Code, will be imposed. The results of this test shall be admissible in a civil or criminal action or proceeding arising from an arrest for an offense as defined in Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance or pursuant to Section 11-501.4 in prosecutions for reckless homicide brought under the Criminal Code of 1961. These test results, however, shall be admissible only in actions or proceedings directly related to the incident upon which the test request was made.

(d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, or any amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating compound in the person's breath, blood, or urine resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, the law enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to the circuit court of venue and the Secretary of State, certifying that the test or tests was or were requested under paragraph (a) and the person refused to submit to a test, or tests, or submitted to testing that disclosed an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.

(e) Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement officer submitted under paragraph (d), the Secretary of State shall enter the statutory summary suspension for the periods specified in Section 6-208.1, and effective as provided in paragraph (g).

If the person is a first offender as defined in Section 11-500 of this Code, and is not convicted of a violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance, then reports received by the Secretary of State under this Section shall, except during the actual time the Statutory Summary Suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities or the Secretary of State.

(f) The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report under paragraph (d) shall serve immediate notice of the statutory summary suspension on the person and the suspension shall be effective as provided in paragraph (g). In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or greater or any amount of a drug, substance, or compound resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis as covered by the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act is established by a subsequent analysis of blood or urine collected at the time of arrest, the arresting officer or arresting agency shall give notice as provided in this Section or by deposit in the United States mail of the notice in an envelope with postage prepaid and addressed to the person at his address as shown on the Uniform Traffic Ticket and the statutory summary suspension shall begin as provided in paragraph (g). The officer shall confiscate any Illinois driver's license or permit on the person at the time of arrest. If the person has a valid driver's license or permit, the officer shall issue the person a receipt, in a form prescribed by the Secretary of State, that will allow that person to drive during the periods provided for in paragraph (g). The officer shall immediately forward the driver's license or permit to the circuit court of venue along with the sworn report provided for in paragraph (d).

(g) The statutory summary suspension referred to in this Section shall take effect on the 46th day following the date the notice of the statutory summary suspension was given to the person.

(h) The following procedure shall apply whenever a person is arrested for any offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance:

Upon receipt of the sworn report from the law enforcement officer, the Secretary of State shall confirm the statutory summary suspension by mailing a notice of the effective date of the suspension to the person and the court of venue. The notice shall inform the person that the person is required to obtain an ignition interlock device or an alternative alcohol monitoring device as provided in Section 6-206. However, should the sworn report be defective by not containing sufficient information or be completed in error, the confirmation of the statutory summary suspension shall not be mailed to the person or entered to the record; instead, the sworn report shall be forwarded to the court of venue with a copy returned to the issuing agency identifying any defect.
