    of this  Section,  a  person's  privilege  to  operate  a
    vehicle as an occupation shall not be suspended, provided
    an  affidavit  is properly completed, the appropriate fee
    received, and a permit issued prior to the effective date
    of the suspension, unless 5 offenses were  committed,  at
    least  2  of  which occurred while operating a commercial
    vehicle  in  connection   with   the   driver's   regular
    occupation.   All   other  driving  privileges  shall  be
    suspended by the Secretary of State. Any driver prior  to
    operating  a  vehicle for occupational purposes only must
    submit the affidavit on  forms  to  be  provided  by  the
    Secretary  of  State  setting  forth  the  facts  of  the
    person's  occupation.  The affidavit shall also state the
    number of offenses committed while operating a vehicle in
    connection with  the  driver's  regular  occupation.  The

    Secretary  of  State  shall  issue the driver a permit to
    operate a vehicle in connection with the driver's regular
    occupation only. Unless  the  permit  is  issued  by  the
    Secretary  of  State prior to the date of suspension, the
    privilege to drive any motor vehicle shall  be  suspended
    as  set  forth  in  the notice that was mailed under this
    Section. If an affidavit is received  subsequent  to  the
    effective date of this suspension, a permit may be issued

         The  provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply
    to any driver required to obtain  a  commercial  driver's
    license  under  Section  6-507  during  the  period  of a
    disqualification of commercial driving  privileges  under
    Section 6-514.
         Any  person  who  falsely  states  any  fact  in the
    affidavit required herein  shall  be  guilty  of  perjury
    under  Section  6-302  and  upon conviction thereof shall
    have  all  driving  privileges  revoked  without  further
    rights.
         3.  At the conclusion of  a  hearing  under  Section
    2-118  of  this Code, the Secretary of State shall either
    rescind or continue  an  order  of  revocation  or  shall
    substitute   an  order  of  suspension;  or,  good  cause
    appearing therefor, rescind, continue, change, or  extend
    the  order of suspension.  If the Secretary of State does
    not  rescind  the   order,   the   Secretary   may   upon
    application,   to   relieve   undue   hardship,  issue  a
    restricted  driving  permit  granting  the  privilege  of
    driving  a  motor  vehicle   between   the   petitioner's
    residence  and petitioner's place of employment or within
    the scope of his employment related duties, or  to  allow
    transportation  for the petitioner, or a household member
    of the petitioner's family, to receive necessary  medical
    care   and  if  the  professional  evaluation  indicates,
    provide   transportation   for   alcohol   remedial    or
    rehabilitative  activity, or for the petitioner to attend
    classes, as  a  student,  in  an  accredited  educational
    institution;  if  the  petitioner  is able to demonstrate
    that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
    available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
    safety or welfare. In each case the Secretary may issue a
    restricted   driving   permit   for   a   period   deemed
    appropriate, except that all permits shall expire  within
    one year from the date of issuance.  A restricted driving
    permit  issued  under  this  Section  shall be subject to
    cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the Secretary
    of State in like manner and for like cause as a  driver's
    license issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked,
    or  suspended;  except that a conviction upon one or more
    offenses  against  laws  or  ordinances  regulating   the
    movement  of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
    the  revocation,  suspension,  or   cancellation   of   a
    restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as
    a  condition  to  the  issuance  of  a restricted driving
    permit,  require  the  applicant  to  participate  in   a
    designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The
    Secretary  of  State is authorized to cancel a restricted
    driving permit if the permit holder does not successfully
    complete the program.
    (d)  This Section is subject to  the  provisions  of  the
Drivers License Compact.

    Sec.  11-1301.2.  Special  decals  for  a   person   with
disabilities parking.
    (a)  The   Secretary  of  State  shall  provide  for,  by
administrative rules, the design, size, color, and  placement

temporary  disabilities, provided that the decal or device is
valid for no more than 90 days, subject to renewal  for  like
periods based upon continued disability, and further provided
that the decal or device clearly sets forth the date that the
decal  or device expires or not-for-profit organization which

include  the  requirement  of an Illinois Identification Card

or  displaying  a  registration plate as provided in Sections
3-609 and 3-616 of this Act to designate when the vehicle  is
being   used   to  transport  said  person  or  persons  with
disabilities,  and  thus  is  entitled  to  enjoy   all   the
privileges  that would be afforded a person with disabilities
licensed vehicle. Person with disabilities decals or  devices
issued  and  displayed  pursuant  to  this  Section  shall be

Identification Card Act.  For purposes of  this  Section,  an
Illinois  Disabled Person Identification Card issued pursuant
to The Illinois Identification Card Act indicating  that  the
person thereon named has a Class 1A or 2A disability shall be
adequate  documentation of such a disability. Nothing in this
Section shall be read  to  prohibit  local  authorities  from
issuing  such  decal  or  device  to  persons  with temporary
disabilities, provided that such decal or device is valid for
no more than 90 days, subject to  renewal  for  like  periods
based  upon  continued  disability, and further provided that
such decal or device clearly sets forth  the  date  that  the
decal or device expires.

designated placement within the vehicle.  The  cost  of  such
decal  or  device  shall  be  at the discretion of such local
governing authority.
    (c)  The Secretary of  State  may,  pursuant  to  Section
3-616(c),  issue  a person with disabilities parking decal or

device issued by the Secretary of State shall  be  registered
to that person with disabilities in the form to be prescribed
by  the  Secretary  of  State.   The person with disabilities
parking decal or  device  shall  not  display  that  person's
address.   One additional decal or device may be issued to an
applicant upon his or her request and with  the  approval  of
the Secretary of State.
