Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

The Secretary of State shall adopt rules defining the terms and
conditions by which the individual may obtain and renew this
special restricted license. At a minimum, all drivers must meet

|
| a motor vehicle during daylight hours for a period of 12 months using vision aid arrangements other than standard eyeglasses or contact lenses.
|

|
|
The special restricted license holder must submit to the Secretary annually a vision specialist report from his or her ophthalmologist or optometrist that the special restricted license holder's vision has not changed.

At a minimum, all drivers renewing this license must meet the
following requirements:

subsection (g) whose privilege to drive during nighttime hours has been
suspended due to a crash occurring during nighttime hours may request
a hearing as provided in Section 2-118 of this Code to contest that suspension.
If it is
determined that the crash for which the driver was at fault was not
influenced by the driver's use of vision aid arrangements other than standard
eyeglasses or contact lenses, the Secretary may reinstate that driver's
privilege to drive during nighttime hours.
(i) The Secretary of State may issue a special restricted training permit for a period of 6 months to individuals using vision aid arrangements other than standard eyeglasses or contact lenses, allowing the operation of a motor vehicle between sunset and 10:00 p.m. provided the driver is accompanied by a person holding a valid driver's license without nighttime operation restrictions.

At a minimum, all persons applying for a special restricted training permit must meet the following requirements:
