has already registered with the Selective Service System or
that he is authorizing the Secretary to forward to the
Selective Service System the necessary information for
registration. The Secretary must notify the applicant at the
time of application that his signature constitutes consent to
registration with the Selective Service System, if he is not

document cannot be stamped, the Illinois Department of

SB1514 - 21 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
Veterans' Affairs shall provide a certificate to the veteran
to provide to the Secretary of State. The Illinois Department
of Veterans' Affairs shall advise the Secretary as to what
other forms of proof of a person's status as a veteran are
acceptable.
For each applicant who is issued a driver's license with a
veteran designation, the Secretary shall provide the
Department of Veterans' Affairs with the applicant's name,
address, date of birth, gender and such other demographic
information as agreed to by the Secretary and the Department.
The Department may take steps necessary to confirm the
applicant is a veteran. If after due diligence, including
writing to the applicant at the address provided by the
Secretary, the Department is unable to verify the applicant's
veteran status, the Department shall inform the Secretary, who
shall notify the applicant that he or she must confirm status
as a veteran, or the driver's license will be cancelled.
For purposes of this subsection (e):

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

the rules of the Secretary of State), issue a restricted
driving permit granting the privilege of driving a motor

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

(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

SB1514 - 48 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
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 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

suspended due to a conviction for a violation of
subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d)

SB1514 - 49 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, 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. For any person who, within a 5-year period, is
convicted of a second or subsequent offense under Section
11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local
ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, this employment
exemption does not apply until either a one-year period
has elapsed during which that person had his or her
driving privileges revoked or a one-year period has
elapsed during which that person had a restricted driving
permit which required the use of an ignition interlock

SB1514 - 50 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
device on every motor vehicle owned or operated by that
person.
(E) In each case the Secretary may issue a restricted
driving permit for a period deemed appropriate, except
that all permits shall expire no later than 2 years 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.
(F) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4
of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make
application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing
conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the
expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most

SB1514 - 51 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b

release from a period of imprisonment resulting from a
conviction of the most recent offense, whichever is later,
provided the person, in addition to all other requirements
of the Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence:

abstinence from alcohol and the unlawful use or
consumption of cannabis under the Cannabis Control
Act, a controlled substance under the Illinois

rehabilitative treatment and involvement in any
ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be

according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or
drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code.
In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a
restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F), the
Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including,
but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and
the results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons
subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b)
of Section 6-208 of this Code and who have been convicted

SB1514 - 52 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
of more than one violation of paragraph (3), paragraph
(4), or paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section 11-501
of this Code shall not be eligible to apply for a
restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F).
A restricted driving permit issued under this
subparagraph (F) shall provide that the holder may only
operate motor vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock
device as required under paragraph (2) of subsection (c)
of Section 6-205 of this Code and subparagraph (A) of
paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of this Section. The
Secretary may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend
the conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under
this subparagraph (F) if the holder operates a vehicle
that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device, or
for any other reason authorized under this Code.
A restricted driving permit issued under this
subparagraph (F) shall be revoked, and the holder barred
from applying for or being issued a restricted driving
permit in the future, if the holder is convicted of a
violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, a similar
provision of a local ordinance, or a similar offense in
another state.
(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

SB1514 - 53 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
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
Driver 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

SB1514 - 54 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
provisions of this Code.

For purposes of paragraphs 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 19, 25, 26,
and 27 of this subsection, license means any driver's license,

SB1514 - 64 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
any traffic ticket issued when 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
or , 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

SB1514 - 65 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
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

SB1514 - 66 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
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 persons with disabilities 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

SB1514 - 67 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
available and that the petitioner will not endanger the public
safety or welfare.
(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 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;

SB1514 - 68 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
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-5) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
suspended due to a conviction for a violation of
subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d)
of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, 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. For any person who, within a 5-year period, is
convicted of a second or subsequent offense under Section

SB1514 - 69 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local
ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, this employment
exemption does not apply until either a one-year period
has elapsed during which that person had his or her
driving privileges revoked or a one-year period has
elapsed during which that person had a restricted driving
permit which required the use of an ignition interlock
device on every motor vehicle owned or operated by that
person.
(E) In each case the Secretary may issue a restricted
driving permit for a period deemed appropriate, except
that all permits shall expire no later than 2 years 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

SB1514 - 70 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
driving permit if the permit holder does not successfully
complete the program.
(F) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4
of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make
application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing
conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the
expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most
recent revocation or after 5 years from the date of
release from a period of imprisonment resulting from a
conviction of the most recent offense, whichever is later,
provided the person, in addition to all other requirements
of the Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence:
(i) a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted
abstinence from alcohol and the unlawful use or
consumption of cannabis under the Cannabis Control
Act, a controlled substance under the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound
under the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or
methamphetamine under the Methamphetamine Control and
Community Protection Act; and
(ii) the successful completion of any
rehabilitative treatment and involvement in any
ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be
recommended by a properly licensed service provider
according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or
drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code.

SB1514 - 71 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a
restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F), the
Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including,
but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and
the results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons
subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b)
of Section 6-208 of this Code and who have been convicted
of more than one violation of paragraph (3), paragraph
(4), or paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section 11-501
of this Code shall not be eligible to apply for a
restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F).
A restricted driving permit issued under this
subparagraph (F) shall provide that the holder may only
operate motor vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock
device as required under paragraph (2) of subsection (c)
of Section 6-205 of this Code and subparagraph (A) of
paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of this Section. The
Secretary may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend
the conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under
this subparagraph (F) if the holder operates a vehicle
that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device, or
for any other reason authorized under this Code.
A restricted driving permit issued under this
subparagraph (F) shall be revoked, and the holder barred
from applying for or being issued a restricted driving
permit in the future, if the holder is convicted of a

SB1514 - 72 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, a similar
provision of a local ordinance, or a similar offense in
another state.
(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

SB1514 - 73 - LRB103 28930 MXP 55316 b
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
Driver 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 CFR 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, cancelled, or
disqualified under any provisions of this Code.
