HB0914 Engrossed - 3 - LRB096 10397 AJT 20567 b

22 or processing after arrest, as well as any other person whose
23 testimony may be probative to the issues at the hearing. The
24 failure of a law enforcement officer to answer the subpoena
25 shall be considered grounds for a continuance if, in the
26 hearing officer's discretion, the continuance is appropriate.

 

 

HB0914 Engrossed - 4 - LRB096 10397 AJT 20567 b

1 The failure of the arresting officer to answer a subpoena shall
2 not, in and of itself, be considered grounds for the rescission
3 of an implied consent suspension. Rather, the hearing shall
4 proceed on the basis of the other evidence available, and the
5 hearing officer shall assign this evidence whatever probative
6 value is deemed appropriate. The decision whether to rescind
7 shall be based upon the totality of the evidence.
8     (e) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
9 revoking or denying any license, permit, registration, or
10 certificate of title shall be subject to judicial review in the
11 Circuit Court of Sangamon County, in the Circuit Court of

16 govern every action for the judicial review of final acts or
17 decisions of the Secretary of State hereunder.

20     Sec. 6-206.1. Monitoring Device Driving Permit.
21 Declaration of Policy. It is hereby declared a policy of the
22 State of Illinois that the driver who is impaired by alcohol,
23 other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds is a
24 threat to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, to provide
25 a deterrent to such practice, a statutory summary driver's

 

 

HB0914 Engrossed - 5 - LRB096 10397 AJT 20567 b

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

 

 

HB0914 Engrossed - 6 - LRB096 10397 AJT 20567 b

1     invalid;
2         (2) Death or great bodily harm resulted from the arrest
3     for Section 11-501;
4         (3) That the offender has been previously convicted of
5     reckless homicide or aggravated driving under the
6     influence involving death; or
7         (4) That the offender is less than 18 years of age.
8     Any court order for a MDDP shall order the person to pay
9 the Secretary a MDDP Administration Fee in an amount not to
10 exceed $30 per month, to be deposited into the Monitoring
11 Device Driving Permit Administration Fee Fund. The Secretary
12 shall establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,
13 and conditions relating to these fees. The order shall further
14 specify that the offender must have an ignition interlock
15 device installed within 14 days of the date the Secretary
16 issues the MDDP. The ignition interlock device provider must
17 notify the Secretary, in a manner and form prescribed by the
18 Secretary, of the installation. If the Secretary does not
19 receive notice of installation, the Secretary shall cancel the
20 MDDP.
21     A MDDP shall not become effective prior to the 31st day of
22 the original statutory summary suspension.
23     (a-1) A person issued a MDDP may drive for any purpose and
24 at any time, subject to the rules adopted by the Secretary
25 under subsection (g). The person must, at his or her own
26 expense, drive only vehicles equipped with an ignition

 

 

HB0914 Engrossed - 7 - LRB096 10397 AJT 20567 b

1 interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1, but in no event
2 shall such person drive a commercial motor vehicle.
3     (a-2) Persons who are issued a MDDP and must drive
4 employer-owned vehicles in the course of their employment
5 duties may seek permission to drive an employer-owned vehicle
6 that does not have an ignition interlock device. The employer
7 shall provide to the Secretary a form, as prescribed by the
8 Secretary, completed by the employer verifying that the
9 employee must drive an employer-owned vehicle in the course of
10 employment. If approved by the Secretary, the form must be in
11 the driver's possession while operating an employer-owner
12 vehicle not equipped with an ignition interlock device. No
13 person may use this exemption to drive a school bus, school
14 vehicle, or a vehicle designed to transport more than 15
15 passengers. No person may use this exemption to drive an
16 employer-owned motor vehicle that is owned by an entity that is
17 wholly or partially owned by the person holding the MDDP, or by
18 a family member of the person holding the MDDP. No person may
19 use this exemption to drive an employer-owned vehicle that is
20 made available to the employee for personal use. No person may
21 drive the exempted vehicle more than 12 hours per day, 6 days
22 per week.

2 provision of a local ordinance or a similar out-of-state
3 offense or is convicted of or receives court supervision for
4 any offense for which alcohol or drugs is an element of the
5 offense and in which a motor vehicle was involved (for an
6 arrest other than the one for which the MDDP is issued), or
7 de-installs the BAIID without prior authorization from the
8 Secretary, the MDDP shall be cancelled.
9     (c-5) If the court determines that the person seeking the
10 MDDP is indigent, the court shall provide the person with a
11 written document, in a form prescribed by the Secretary, as
12 evidence of that determination, and the person shall provide
13 that written document to an ignition interlock device provider.
14 The provider shall install an ignition interlock device on that
15 person's vehicle without charge to the person, and seek
16 reimbursement from the Indigent BAIID Fund. If the court has
17 deemed an offender indigent, the BAIID provider shall also
18 provide the normal monthly monitoring services and the
19 de-installation without charge to the offender and seek
20 reimbursement from the Indigent BAIID Fund. Any other monetary
21 charges, such as a lockout fee or reset fee, shall be the
22 responsibility of the MDDP holder. A BAIID provider may not

2 Section. Such court order shall contain the name, driver's
3 license number, and legal address of the applicant. This
4 information shall be available only to the courts, police
5 officers, and the Secretary, except during the actual period
6 the MDDP is valid, during which time it shall be a public
7 record. The Secretary shall design and furnish to the courts an
8 official court order form to be used by the courts when
9 directing the Secretary to issue a MDDP.
10     Any submitted court order that contains insufficient data
11 or fails to comply with this Code shall not be utilized for
12 MDDP issuance or entered to the driver record but shall be
13 returned to the issuing court indicating why the MDDP cannot be
14 so entered. A notice of this action shall also be sent to the
15 MDDP applicant by the Secretary.
16     (e) (Blank).
17     (f) (Blank).
