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

    Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Sets fees for the issuance of a monitoring device driving permit (MDDP). Provides that an offender who opts out of having an MDDP issued may, during the drug or alcohol-related statutory summary suspension of his or her driving privileges, petition the court for an order directing the Secretary of State to issue an MDDP. Provides that a court shall not direct the Secretary to issue an MDDP if the offender has previously been convicted of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating compounds, involving death. Provides that the $30 administrative fee paid by the offender when an MDDP is issued shall be deposited into the Monitoring Device Driving Permit Administration Fee Fund. Deletes language providing that the court order directing the issuance of the MDDP shall specify the vehicle in which an ignition interlock device is to be installed. Provides that the MDDP shall be cancelled if the offender is convicted of or placed on court supervision for specified offenses or if the offender attempts to remove the ignition interlock device from his or her vehicle without the Secretary's authorization. Provides that, under specified circumstances, additional violations may result in the extension of the offender's statutory summary suspension or vehicle impoundment or forfeiture. Makes other changes regarding the issuance and cancellation of an MDDP and monitoring services to offenders found to be indigent. Effective January 1, 2009.

17     Sec. 6-206.1. Monitoring Device Driving Permit.
18 Declaration of Policy. It is hereby declared a policy of the
19 State of Illinois that the driver who is impaired by alcohol,
20 other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds is a
21 threat to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, to provide
22 a deterrent to such practice and to remove problem drivers from
23 the highway, a statutory summary driver's license suspension is
24 appropriate. It is also recognized that driving is a privilege
25 and therefore, that the granting of driving privileges, in a

 

 

SB2295 - 8 - LRB095 15369 WGH 45387 b

1 manner consistent with public safety, is warranted during the
2 period of suspension in the form of a monitoring device driving
3 permit. A person who drives and fails to comply with the
4 requirements of the monitoring device driving permit commits a
5 violation of Section 6-303 of this Code.
6     The following procedures shall apply whenever a first
7 offender is arrested for any offense as defined in Section
8 11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance:
9     (a) Subsequent to a notification of a statutory summary
10 suspension of driving privileges as provided in Section
11 11-501.1, the court, after informing the first offender, as
12 defined in Section 11-500, of his or her right to a monitoring
13 device driving permit, hereinafter referred to as a MDDP, and
14 of the obligations of the MDDP, shall enter an order directing
15 the Secretary of State (hereinafter referred to as the
16 Secretary) to issue a MDDP to the offender, unless the offender
17 has opted, in writing, not to have a MDDP issued. After opting
18 out of having a MDDP issued, at any time during the summary
19 suspension, the offender may petition the court for an order
20 directing the Secretary to issue a MDDP. However, the court
21 shall not enter the order directing the Secretary of State to
22 issue the MDDP, in any instance, if the court finds:
23         (1) The offender's driver's license is otherwise
24     invalid;
25         (2) Death or great bodily harm resulted from the arrest
26     for Section 11-501;

 

 

SB2295 - 9 - LRB095 15369 WGH 45387 b

1         (3) That the offender has been previously convicted of
2     reckless homicide or aggravated driving under the
3     influence involving death; or
4         (4) That the offender is less than 18 years of age.
5     Any court order for a MDDP shall order the person to pay
6 the Secretary of State a MDDP Administration Fee in an amount
7 not to exceed $30 per month, to be deposited into the
8 Monitoring Device Driving Permit Administration Fee Fund. The
9 Secretary shall establish by rule the amount and the
10 procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these fees. The
11 order shall further specify that the offender must have an
12 ignition interlock device installed within 14 days of the date
13 the Secretary issues the MDDP, and shall specify the vehicle in
14 which the device is to be installed. The ignition interlock
15 device provider must notify the Secretary, in a manner and form
16 prescribed by the Secretary, of the installation. If the
17 Secretary does not receive notice of installation, the
18 Secretary shall cancel the MDDP.
19 A MDDP shall not become effective prior to the 31st day of the
20 original statutory summary suspension.
21     (a-1) A person issued a MDDP may drive for any purpose and
22 at any time, subject to the rules adopted by the Secretary of
23 State under subsection (g). The person must, at his or her own
24 expense, drive only vehicles equipped with an ignition
25 interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1, but in no event
26 shall such person drive a commercial motor vehicle.

 

 

SB2295 - 10 - LRB095 15369 WGH 45387 b

1     (a-2) Persons who are issued a MDDP and must drive
2 employer-owned vehicles in the course of their employment
3 duties may seek permission from the court to drive an
4 employer-owned vehicle that does not have an ignition interlock
5 device. The employer employee shall provide to the Secretary
6 court a form, as prescribed by the Secretary of State,
7 completed by the employer verifying that the employee must
8 drive an employer-owned vehicle in the course of employment. If
9 approved by the Secretary court, the form must be file stamped
10 and must be in the driver's possession while operating an
11 employer-owner vehicle not equipped with an ignition interlock
12 device. No person may use this exemption to drive a school bus,
13 school vehicle, or a vehicle designed to transport more than 15
14 passengers. No person may use this exemption to drive an
15 employer-owned motor vehicle that is owned by an entity that is
16 wholly or partially owned by the person holding the MDDP, or by
17 a family member of the person holding the MDDP. No person may
18 use this exemption to drive an employer-owned vehicle that is
19 made available to the employee for personal use. No person may
20 drive the exempted vehicle more than 12 hours per day, 6 days
21 per week.
22     (b) (Blank).

SB2295 - 11 - LRB095 15369 WGH 45387 b

1 of a local ordinance or a similar out of state offense or is
2 convicted of or receives court supervision for any offense for
3 which alcohol or drugs is an element of the offense and in
4 which a motor vehicle was involved (for an arrest other than
5 the one for which the MDDP is issued), or de-installs the BAIID
6 without prior authorization from the Secretary, the MDDP shall
7 be cancelled. If the person is issued a citation for a
8 violation of Section 6-303 or a violation of Section 11-501 or
9 a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar out of
10 state offense during the term of the MDDP, the officer issuing
11 the citation, or the law enforcement agency employing that
12 officer, shall confiscate the MDDP and immediately send the
13 MDDP and notice of the citation to the court that ordered the
14 issuance of the MDDP. Within 10 days of receipt, the issuing
15 court, upon notice to the person, shall conduct a hearing to
16 consider cancellation of the MDDP. If the court enters an order
17 of cancellation, the court shall forward the order to the
18 Secretary of State, and the Secretary shall cancel the MDDP and
19 notify the person of the cancellation. If, however, the person
20 is convicted of the offense before the MDDP has been cancelled,
21 the court of venue shall send notice of conviction to the court
22 that ordered issuance of the MDDP. The court receiving the
23 notice shall immediately enter an order of cancellation and
24 forward the order to the Secretary of State. The Secretary
25 shall cancel the MDDP and notify the person of the
26 cancellation.

 

 

SB2295 - 12 - LRB095 15369 WGH 45387 b

1     If the person is issued a citation for any other traffic
2 related offense during the term of the MDDP, the officer
3 issuing the citation, or the law enforcement agency employing
4 that officer, shall send notice of the citation to the court
5 that ordered issuance of the MDDP. Upon receipt and notice to
6 the person and an opportunity for a hearing, the court shall
7 determine whether the violation constitutes grounds for
8 cancellation of the MDDP. If the court enters an order of
9 cancellation, the court shall forward the order to the
10 Secretary of State, and the Secretary shall cancel the MDDP and
11 shall notify the person of the cancellation.
12     (c-5) If the court determines that the person seeking the
13 MDDP is indigent, the court shall provide the person with a
14 written document, in a form prescribed by the Secretary of
15 State, as evidence of that determination, and the person shall
16 provide that written document to an ignition interlock device
17 provider. The provider shall install an ignition interlock
18 device on that person's vehicle without charge to the person,
19 and seek reimbursement from the Indigent BAIID Fund. If the
20 court has deemed an offender indigent, the BAIID provider shall
21 also provide the normal monthly monitoring services and the
22 de-installation without charge to the offender and seek
23 reimbursement from the Indigent BAIID Fund. Any other monetary
24 charges, such as a lockout fee or reset fee, shall be the
25 responsibility of the MDDP holder. A BAIID provider may not
26 seek a security deposit from the Indigent BAIID Fund. The court

 

 

SB2295 - 13 - LRB095 15369 WGH 45387 b

1 shall also forward a copy of the indigent determination to the
2 Secretary, in a manner and form as prescribed by the Secretary.
3     (d) The Secretary of State shall, upon receiving a court
4 order from the court of venue, issue a MDDP to a person who
5 applies for a MDDP under this Section. Such court order form
6 shall also contain a notification, which shall be sent to the
7 Secretary of State, providing the name, driver's license
8 number, and legal address of the applicant. This information
9 shall be available only to the courts, police officers, and the
10 Secretary of State, except during the actual period the MDDP is
11 valid, during which time it shall be a public record. The
12 Secretary of State shall design and furnish to the courts an
13 official court order form to be used by the courts when
14 directing the Secretary of State to issue a MDDP.
15     Any submitted court order that contains insufficient data
16 or fails to comply with this Code shall not be utilized for
17 MDDP issuance or entered to the driver record but shall be
18 returned to the issuing court indicating why the MDDP cannot be
19 so entered. A notice of this action shall also be sent to the
20 MDDP applicant by the Secretary of State.
21     (e) (Blank).
22     (f) (Blank).
23     (g) The Secretary of State shall adopt rules for
24 implementing this Section. The rules adopted shall address
25 issues including, but not limited to: compliance with the
26 requirements of the MDDP; methods for determining compliance

 

 

SB2295 - 14 - LRB095 15369 WGH 45387 b

1 with those requirements; the consequences of noncompliance
2 with those requirements; what constitutes a violation of the
3 MDDP; and the duties of a person or entity that supplies the
4 ignition interlock device.
5     (h) The rules adopted under subsection (g) shall provide,
6 at a minimum, that the person is not in compliance with the
7 requirements of the MDDP if he or she:
8         (1) tampers or attempts to tamper with or circumvent
9     the proper operation of the ignition interlock device;
10         (2) provides valid breath samples that register blood
11     alcohol levels in excess of the number of times allowed
12     under the rules;
13         (3) fails to provide evidence sufficient to satisfy the
14     Secretary that the ignition interlock device has been
15     installed in the designated vehicle or vehicles; or
16         (4) fails to follow any other applicable rules adopted
17     by the Secretary.
18     (i) Any person or entity that supplies an ignition
19 interlock device as provided under this Section shall, in
20 addition to supplying only those devices which fully comply
21 with all the rules adopted under subsection (g), provide the
22 Secretary, within 7 days of inspection, all monitoring reports
23 of each person who has had an ignition interlock device
24 installed. These reports shall be furnished in a manner or form
25 as prescribed by the Secretary.
26     (j) Upon making a determination that a violation of the

 

 

SB2295 - 15 - LRB095 15369 WGH 45387 b

1 requirements of the MDDP has occurred, the Secretary shall
2 extend the summary suspension period for an additional 3 months
3 beyond the originally imposed summary suspension period,
4 during which time the person shall only be allowed to drive
5 vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device; provided
6 further there are no limitations on the total number of times
7 the summary suspension may be extended. The Secretary may,
8 however, limit the number of extensions imposed for violations
9 occurring during any one monitoring period, as set forth by
10 rule. Any person whose summary suspension is extended pursuant
11 to this Section shall have the right to contest the extension
12 through a an administrative hearing with the Secretary,
13 pursuant to Section 2-118 of this Code. If the summary
14 suspension has already terminated prior to the Secretary
15 receiving the monitoring report that shows a violation, the
16 Secretary shall be authorized to suspend the person's driving
17 privileges for 3 months, provided that the Secretary may, by
18 rule, limit the number of suspensions to be entered pursuant to
19 this paragraph for violations occurring during any one
20 monitoring period. Any person whose license is suspended
21 pursuant to this paragraph, after the summary suspension had
22 already terminated, shall have the right to contest the
23 suspension through a hearing with the Secretary, pursuant to
24 Section 2-118 of this Code. The only permit the person shall be
25 eligible for during this new suspension period is a MDDP.

2 extensions and new suspensions, entered as a result of a
3 violation that occurred while holding the MDDP, so long as the
4 extensions and new suspensions relate to the same summary
5 suspension, shall have his or her vehicle impounded for a
6 period of 30 days, at the person's own expense. A person who
7 has his or her summary suspension extended for the fourth time,
8 or has any combination of 4 extensions and new suspensions,
9 entered as a result of a violation that occurred while holding
10 the MDDP, so long as the extensions and new suspensions relate
11 to the same summary suspension, shall have his or her vehicle
12 subject to seizure and forfeiture. The Secretary shall notify
13 the prosecuting authority of any third or fourth extensions or
14 new suspension entered as a result of a violation that occurred
15 while the person held a MDDP. Upon receipt of the notification,
16 the prosecuting authority shall impound or forfeit the vehicle.
