|
AN ACT concerning transportation.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Illinois Identification Card Act is amended |
by changing Section 4A as follows:
|
(15 ILCS 335/4A) (from Ch. 124, par. 24A)
|
Sec. 4A.
(a) "Person with a disability" as used in this Act |
means any person who
is, and who is expected to indefinitely |
continue to be, subject to any of
the following five types of |
disabilities:
|
Type One: Physical disability. A physical disability is a |
physical
impairment, disease, or loss, which is of a permanent |
nature, and which
substantially limits physical ability or |
motor skills. The
Secretary of State shall establish standards |
not inconsistent with this
provision necessary to determine the |
presence of a physical disability.
|
Type Two: Developmental disability. Developmental |
disability means a disability that is attributable to: (i) an |
intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, or autism |
or (ii) any other condition that results in impairment similar |
to that caused by an intellectual disability and requires |
services similar to those required by persons with intellectual |
disabilities. Such a disability must originate before the age |
|
of 18 years, be expected to continue indefinitely, and |
constitute a substantial handicap. The Secretary
of State shall |
establish standards not inconsistent with this provision
|
necessary to determine the presence of
a developmental |
disability.
|
Type Three: Visual disability. A visual disability is |
blindness, and the term "blindness" means central vision acuity |
of 20/200 or less in the better eye with the use of a |
correcting lens. An eye that is accompanied by a limitation in |
the fields of vision so that the widest diameter of the visual |
field subtends an angle no greater than 20 degrees shall be |
considered as having a central vision acuity of 20/200 or less. |
The Secretary of State shall establish
standards not |
inconsistent with this Section necessary to determine the
|
presence of a visual disability.
|
Type Four: Hearing disability. A hearing disability is a |
disability
resulting in complete absence of hearing, or hearing |
that with sound
enhancing or magnifying equipment is
so |
impaired as to require the use of sensory input other than |
hearing
as the principal means of receiving spoken language. |
The Secretary of State
shall
establish standards not |
inconsistent with this Section
necessary to determine the |
presence of a hearing disability.
|
Type Five: Mental Disability. A mental disability is a |
significant impairment of an individual's cognitive, |
affective, or relational abilities that may require |
|
intervention and may be a recognized, medically diagnosable |
illness or disorder. The Secretary of State shall establish
|
standards not inconsistent with this provision necessary to |
determine the
presence of a mental disability.
|
(b) For purposes of this Act, a disability shall be |
classified as
follows: Class 1 disability: A Class 1 disability |
is any type disability
which does not render a person unable to |
engage in any substantial gainful
activity or which does not |
impair his ability to live independently or to
perform labor or |
services for which he is qualified. The Secretary of State
|
shall establish standards not inconsistent with this Section
|
necessary to determine the presence of a Class 1 disability.
|
Class 1A disability: A Class 1A disability is a Class 1 |
disability which
renders a person unable to walk 200 feet or |
more unassisted by another person
or without the aid of a |
walker, crutches, braces, prosthetic device or a
wheelchair or |
without great difficulty or discomfort due to the following
|
impairments: neurologic, orthopedic, oncological, respiratory, |
cardiac, arthritic disorder, blindness,
or the loss of function |
or absence of a limb or limbs. The Secretary of
State shall |
establish standards not inconsistent with this Section |
necessary
to determine the presence of a Class 1A disability. |
Class 2
disability: A Class 2 disability is any type disability |
which renders a
person unable to engage in any substantial |
gainful activity, which
substantially impairs his ability to |
live independently without
supervision or in-home support |
|
services, or which substantially impairs
his ability to perform |
labor
or services for which he is qualified or significantly |
restricts the
labor or services which he is able to perform.
|
The Secretary of State shall
establish standards not |
inconsistent with this Section necessary to
determine the |
presence of a Class 2 disability.
Class 2A disability: A Class |
2A disability is a Class 2 disability which
renders a person |
unable to walk 200 feet or more unassisted by another
person or |
without the aid of a walker, crutches, braces, prosthetic |
device
or a wheelchair or without great difficulty or |
discomfort due to the
following impairments: neurologic, |
orthopedic, oncological, respiratory, cardiac,
arthritic |
disorder, blindness, or the loss of function or absence of a |
limb
or limbs. The Secretary of State shall establish standards |
not inconsistent
with this Section necessary to determine the |
presence of a Class 2A
disability.

the person's driver's license is |
deposited in lieu of bail, a suspension
notice issued by the |
Secretary of State, a duplicate or corrected driver's
license, |
a probationary driver's license or a temporary driver's |
license. |
(b) If any conviction forming the basis of a suspension or
|
revocation authorized under this Section is appealed, the
|
Secretary of State may rescind or withhold the entry of the |
order of suspension
or revocation, as the case may be, provided |
that a certified copy of a stay
order of a court is filed with |
the Secretary of State. If the conviction is
affirmed on |
appeal, the date of the conviction shall relate back to the |
time
the original judgment of conviction was entered and the 6 |
month limitation
prescribed shall not apply.
|
(c) 1. Upon suspending or revoking the driver's license or |
permit of
any person as authorized in this Section, the |
Secretary of State shall
immediately notify the person in |
|
writing of the revocation or suspension.
The notice to be |
deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
to the |
last known address of the person.
|
2. If the Secretary of State suspends the driver's |
license
of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) 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 affidavit shall be accompanied by the |
driver's license.
Upon receipt of a properly completed |
affidavit, 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 for the |
remainder
of the suspension period.
|
The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to |
any driver
required to possess a CDL for the purpose of |
operating a commercial motor vehicle.
|
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 (as defined by the rules of the Secretary of |
State), 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 the petitioner's |
employment related duties, or to
allow the petitioner to |
transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
|
petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive |
|
necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to |
transport himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug
|
remedial or rehabilitative activity recommended by a |
licensed service provider, or to allow the petitioner to |
transport himself or herself or a family member of the |
petitioner's household to classes, as a student, at an |
accredited educational institution, or to allow the |
petitioner to transport children, elderly persons, or |
disabled persons who do not hold driving privileges and are |
living in the petitioner's household to and from daycare. |
The
petitioner must demonstrate that no alternative means |
of
transportation is reasonably available and that the |
petitioner will not endanger
the public safety or welfare. |
Those multiple offenders identified in subdivision (b)4 of |
Section 6-208 of this Code, however, shall not be eligible |
for the issuance of a restricted driving permit.
|
(A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or |
suspended due to 2
or more convictions of violating |
Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
provision of a |
local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or |
Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the |
Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or |
other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or |
a similar out-of-state offense, or a combination of |
these offenses, arising out
of separate occurrences, |
that person, if issued a restricted driving permit,
may |
|
not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with |
an ignition
interlock device as defined in Section |
1-129.1.
|
(B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or |
suspended 2 or more
times within a 10 year period due |
to any combination of: |
(i) a single conviction of violating Section
|
11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a |
local ordinance or a similar
out-of-state offense |
or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the |
Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or |
other drugs is recited as an element of the |
offense, or a similar out-of-state offense; or |
(ii) a statutory summary suspension or |
revocation under Section
11-501.1; or |
(iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1; |
arising out of
separate occurrences; that person, if |
issued a restricted driving permit, may
not operate a |
vehicle unless it has been
equipped with an ignition |
interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. |
(C)
The person issued a permit conditioned upon the |
use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the |
Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
|
not to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall |
establish by rule the amount
and the procedures, terms, |
and conditions relating to these fees. |
|
(D) If the
restricted driving permit is issued for |
employment purposes, then the prohibition against |
operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an |
ignition interlock device does not apply to the |
operation of an occupational vehicle owned or
leased by |
that person's employer when used solely for employment |
purposes. |
(E) 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. The |
Secretary
may not, however, issue a restricted driving |
permit to any person whose current
revocation is the |
result of a second or subsequent conviction for a |
violation
of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar |
provision of a local ordinance
or any similar |
out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal |
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, where the |
use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element |
of the offense, or any similar out-of-state offense, or |
any combination
of those offenses, until the |
expiration of at least one year from the date of
the |
revocation. 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.
|
(c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of |
subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State |
under this Section shall, except during the actual time the |
suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use |
only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities, |
the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the |
Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver |
under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the |
person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made |
available to the driver licensing administrator of any other |
state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected |
driver or motor
carrier or prospective motor carrier upon |
request.
|
(c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of |
|
subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person |
by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license |
will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of |
the notice.
|
(c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the |
reissuance of a
driver's license or permit to an applicant |
whose driver's license or permit has
been suspended before he |
or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of
the |
provisions of this Section, require the applicant to |
participate in a
driver remedial education course and be |
retested under Section 6-109 of this
Code.
|
(d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the |
Drivers License
Compact.
|
(e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted |
driving permit to
a person under the age of 16 years whose |
driving privileges have been suspended
or revoked under any |
provisions of this Code.
|
(f) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of |
State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the |
operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a |
CDL whose driving privileges have been suspended, revoked, |

Sec. 6-521. Rulemaking Authority.
|
(a) The Secretary of State, using the
authority to license |
motor vehicle operators under this Code, may adopt
such rules |
and regulations as may be necessary to establish standards,
|
policies and procedures for the licensing and sanctioning of |
commercial
motor vehicle
drivers in order to meet the |
requirements of the Commercial Motor Vehicle
Act of 1986 |
(CMVSA); subsequent federal rulemaking under 49 C.F.R. Part
383 |
or Part 1572; and administrative and policy decisions of the |
U.S.
Secretary of
Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier |
Safety Administration. The Secretary may,
as provided in the |
CMVSA, establish stricter requirements for the licensing
of |
commercial motor vehicle drivers than those established by the |
federal
government.
|
(b) By January 1, 1994, the Secretary of State shall |
establish rules and
regulations for the issuance of a
|
restricted commercial driver's license
for farm-related |
service industries
consistent with federal guidelines. The |
restricted license
shall be available for a seasonal period or |
periods not to exceed a total of
180 days in any 12 month |
period.
|
(c) (Blank). By July 1, 1995, the Secretary of State shall |
establish
rules and regulations, to be consistent with federal |
guidelines,
for the issuance and cancellation or withdrawal of |
|
a restricted
commercial driver's license that is limited to the |
operation of a school
bus. A driver whose restricted commercial |
driver's license has
been cancelled or withdrawn may contest |
the sanction by requesting
a hearing pursuant to Section 2-118 |
of this Code. The cancellation
or withdrawal of the restricted |
commercial driver's license shall
remain in effect pending the |
outcome of that hearing.
|
(d) By July 1, 1995, the Secretary of State shall
establish |
rules and regulations for the issuance and cancellation
of a |
School Bus Driver's Permit. The permit shall be required for
|
the operation of a school bus as provided in subsection (c), a |
non-restricted
CDL
with passenger endorsement, or a properly |
classified driver's
license. The permit will establish that the |
school bus driver has
met all the requirements of the |
application and screening process
established by Section |
6-106.1 of this Code.
