HB1207 Engrossed -6- LRB9004334NTsb
1 household member of the petitioner's family for the receipt
2 of necessary medical care or, if the professional evaluation
3 indicates, provide transportation for the petitioner for
4 alcohol remedial or rehabilitative activity, or for the

8 reasonably available and the petitioner will not endanger the
9 public safety or welfare; provided that the Secretary's
10 discretion shall be limited to cases where undue hardship
11 would result from a failure to issue the restricted driving
12 permit. In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
13 restricted driving permit for a period he deems appropriate,
14 except that the permit shall expire within one year from the
15 date of issuance. A restricted driving permit issued under
16 this Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation,
17 and suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and
18 for like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code
19 may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a

21 ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed
22 sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or

31 of subsection (a) of this Section, no restricted driving
32 permit shall be issued until the individual has served 6
33 months of the revocation period.
34 (d) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is convicted
HB1207 Engrossed -7- LRB9004334NTsb
1 under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
2 local ordinance, the Secretary of State shall revoke the
3 driving privileges of that person. One year after the date
4 of revocation, and upon application, the Secretary of State
5 may, if satisfied that the person applying will not endanger
6 the public safety or welfare, issue a restricted driving
7 permit granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle only
8 between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. or as otherwise
9 provided by this Section for a period of one year. After
10 this one year period, and upon reapplication for a license as
11 provided in Section 6-106, upon payment of the appropriate
12 reinstatement fee provided under paragraph (b) of Section
13 6-118, the Secretary of State, in his discretion, may issue
14 the applicant a license, or extend the restricted driving
15 permit as many times as the Secretary of State deems
16 appropriate, by additional periods of not more than 12 months
17 each, until the applicant attains 21 years of age. A
18 restricted driving permit issued under this Section shall be
19 subject to cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the
20 Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as a
21 driver's license issued under this Code may be cancelled,
22 revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or
23 more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
24 movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for the
25 revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a restricted
26 driving permit. Any person under 21 years of age who has a
27 driver's license revoked for a second or subsequent
28 conviction for driving under the influence, prior to the age
29 of 21, shall not be eligible to submit an application for a
30 full reinstatement of driving privileges or a restricted
31 driving permit until age 21 or one additional year from the
32 date of the latest such revocation, whichever is the longer.
33 The revocation periods contained in this subparagraph shall
34 apply to similar out-of-state convictions.
