|
| 1 | | a period of one year the driving privileges of any person | 2 | | convicted
of a second or subsequent violation of subsection (a) | 3 | | of this Section or a
similar provision of a local ordinance if | 4 | | the second or subsequent violation
occurs within 5 years of a | 5 | | prior conviction for the same offense. In addition
to the | 6 | | suspensions authorized by this Section, any person convicted of
| 7 | | violating this Section or a similar provision of a local | 8 | | ordinance
shall be subject to a mandatory fine of $150 or, upon | 9 | | a second or subsequent

The Secretary may also | 10 | | grant, for the duration of any
suspension issued under this | 11 | | subsection, a restricted driving permit
granting the privilege | 12 | | of driving a motor vehicle between the driver's
residence and | 13 | | place of employment or within other proper limits that the
| 14 | | Secretary of State shall find necessary to avoid any undue | 15 | | hardship. A
restricted driving permit issued hereunder shall be | 16 | | subject to
cancellation, revocation and suspension by the | 17 | | Secretary of State in like
manner and for like cause as a | 18 | | driver's license may be cancelled, revoked
or suspended; except | 19 | | that a conviction upon one or more offenses against
laws or | 20 | | ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed
| 21 | | sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension or | 22 | | cancellation of the
restricted driving permit. The Secretary of | 23 | | State may, as a condition to
the issuance of a restricted | 24 | | driving permit, require the applicant to
participate in a | 25 | | designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. Any
| 26 | | conviction for a violation of this subsection shall be included |
| | | SB1885 Enrolled | - 20 - | LRB099 09039 RJF 29226 b |
|
| 1 | | as an
offense for the purposes of determining suspension action | 2 | | under any other
provision of this Code, provided however, that | 3 | | the penalties provided under
this subsection shall be imposed | 4 | | unless those penalties imposed under other
applicable | 5 | | provisions are greater.
| 6 | | The owner of any vehicle alleged to have violated paragraph | 7 | | (a) of this
Section shall, upon appropriate demand by the | 8 | | State's Attorney or other
designated person acting in response | 9 | | to a signed complaint, provide
a written statement or | 10 | | deposition identifying the operator of the vehicle
if such | 11 | | operator was not the owner at the time of the alleged | 12 | | violation.
Failure to supply such information shall result in | 13 | | the suspension of the vehicle registration of the vehicle for a | 14 | | period of 3 months. In the event the owner has assigned control | 15 | | for the use
of the vehicle to another, the person to whom | 16 | | control was assigned shall
comply with the provisions of this | 17 | | paragraph and be subject to the same
penalties as herein | 18 | | provided.
