Bill Title: Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides a person with a revoked driver's license, who is ineligible for restoration of the license because of certain prior violations including a 4th or subsequent DUI, may apply for a restricted driving permit 5 years after revocation or release from imprisonment, whichever is later. To be eligible for the restricted driving permit the person, must at a minimum, show by clear and convincing evidence at least 3 years of abstinence from alcohol and illegal drugs and successful completion of rehabilitative treatment. Any restricted driving permit issued to such a person must require operation of a vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device. Provides the person shall not be eligible for a restricted driving permit if convicted of more than one violation of driving under the influence of drugs or an intoxicating compound. If the person issued a restricted driving permit is subsequently convicted of driving under the influence, the permit is revoked and he or she is permanently barred from acquiring a restricted driving permit. Allows a nonresident, who is ineligible for restoration of a license because of certain prior violations, to seek restoration of the license 10 years from the date of revocation. Makes it a Class 4 felony for a person with a restricted driving permit that requires operation of a vehicle with an ignition interlock device to operate a vehicle without one.

(b) The Secretary of State shall also immediately revoke
the license or permit of any driver in the following
situations:
1. Of any minor upon receiving the notice provided for

minor has been adjudicated under that Act as having

HB1446 Enrolled - 5 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
or the use of a driver's license or permit. The revocation
shall remain in effect for the period determined by the

issue the person a judicial driving permit, also known as a
JDP. The JDP shall be subject to the same terms as a JDP
issued under Section 6-206.1, except that the court may
direct that a JDP issued under this subdivision (b)(3) be

(c)(1) Whenever a person is convicted of any of the
offenses enumerated in this Section, the court may recommend
and the Secretary of State in his discretion, without regard to
whether the recommendation is made by the court may, upon
application, issue to the person 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 for the receipt of necessary medical care or 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

HB1446 Enrolled - 6 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
do not hold driving privileges and are living in the
petitioner's household to and from daycare; if the petitioner
is able to demonstrate that no alternative means of
transportation is reasonably available and that the petitioner
will not endanger the public safety or welfare; provided that
the Secretary's discretion shall be limited to cases where
undue hardship, as defined by the rules of the Secretary of
State, would result from a failure to issue the restricted
driving permit. 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.
(1.5) 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:
(A) 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

HB1446 Enrolled - 7 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound
under the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or
methamphetamine under the Methamphetamine Control and
Community Protection Act; and
(B) 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.
In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a
restricted driving permit under this paragraph (1.5), 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.
A restricted driving permit issued under this
paragraph (1.5) 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
this Section and subparagraph (A) of paragraph 3 of

HB1446 Enrolled - 8 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
subsection (c) of Section 6-206 of this Code. The Secretary
may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend the
conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under this
paragraph (1.5) 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
paragraph (1.5) shall be revoked, and the holder barred
from applying for or being issued a restricted driving
permit in the future, if the holder is subsequently
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.
(2) 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.
(3) If:

HB1446 Enrolled - 9 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
(A) 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 pursuant to Section
6-203.1;
arising out of separate occurrences; or
(B) a person has been convicted of one violation of
Section 6-303 of this Code committed while his or her
driver's license, permit, or privilege was revoked
because of a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, relating to
the offense of reckless homicide where the use of
alcohol or other drugs was recited as an element of the
offense, or a similar provision of a law of another
state;
that person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an

HB1446 Enrolled - 10 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
(4) The person issued a permit conditioned on 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.
(5) 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.
(6) In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
restricted driving permit for a period he deems
appropriate, except that the permit 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 these offenses, until the expiration of at

HB1446 Enrolled - 11 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
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 petitioner 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. However, if an individual's driving
privileges have been revoked in accordance with paragraph
13 of subsection (a) of this Section, no restricted driving
permit shall be issued until the individual has served 6
months of the revocation period.
(c-5) (Blank).
(c-6) If a person is convicted of a second violation of
operating a motor vehicle while the person's driver's license,
permit or privilege was revoked, where the revocation was for a
violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
Criminal Code of 2012 relating to the offense of reckless

HB1446 Enrolled - 12 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
homicide or a similar out-of-state offense, the person's
driving privileges shall be revoked pursuant to subdivision
(a)(15) of this Section. The person may not make application
for a license or permit until the expiration of five years from
the effective date of the revocation or the expiration of five
years from the date of release from a term of imprisonment,
whichever is later.
(c-7) If a person is convicted of a third or subsequent
violation of operating a motor vehicle while the person's
driver's license, permit or privilege was revoked, where the
revocation was for a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 relating to the
offense of reckless homicide or a similar out-of-state offense,
the person may never apply for a license or permit.
(d)(1) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is convicted
under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, the
Secretary of State shall revoke the driving privileges of that
person. One year after the date of revocation, and upon
application, the Secretary of State may, if satisfied that the
person applying will not endanger the public safety or welfare,
issue a restricted driving permit granting the privilege of
driving a motor vehicle only between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9
p.m. or as otherwise provided by this Section for a period of
one year. After this one year period, and upon reapplication
for a license as provided in Section 6-106, upon payment of the

HB1446 Enrolled - 13 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
appropriate reinstatement fee provided under paragraph (b) of
Section 6-118, the Secretary of State, in his discretion, may
reinstate the petitioner's driver's license and driving
privileges, or extend the restricted driving permit as many
times as the Secretary of State deems appropriate, by
additional periods of not more than 12 months each.
(2) 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.
(3) 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:
(A) 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

under Section 11-501.1; or
(C) a suspension pursuant to 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.
(4) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the use
of an 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.
(5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
employment purposes, then the prohibition against driving
a 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.
(6) 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

HB1446 Enrolled - 15 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
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.
(d-5) The revocation of the license, permit, or driving
privileges of a person convicted of a third or subsequent
violation of Section 6-303 of this Code committed while his or
her driver's license, permit, or privilege was revoked because
of a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or
the Criminal Code of 2012, relating to the offense of reckless
homicide, or a similar provision of a law of another state, is
permanent. The Secretary may not, at any time, issue a license

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

(b) If any conviction forming the basis of a suspension or

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.

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

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

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

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

HB1446 Enrolled - 28 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
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

HB1446 Enrolled - 29 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
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

HB1446 Enrolled - 30 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
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

HB1446 Enrolled - 31 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
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

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

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

HB1446 Enrolled - 33 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b
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
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

HB1446 Enrolled - 34 - LRB099 03905 RJF 23921 b

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,
cancelled, or disqualified under any provisions of this Code.
