Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing

(a) The Secretary of State, having good cause to believe
that a licensed driver or person holding a permit or applying
for a license or license renewal is incompetent or otherwise
not qualified to hold a license or permit, may upon written
notice of at least 5 days to the person require the person to
submit to an examination as prescribed by the Secretary.
Refusal or neglect of the person to submit an alcohol,
drug, or intoxicating compound evaluation or submit to or
failure to successfully complete the examination is grounds for
suspension of the person's license or permit under Section
6-206 of this Act or cancellation of his license or permit
