defendant found guilty of this offense while operating a
motor vehicle shall have an entry made in the court record
by the presiding judge that this offense did occur while
the defendant was operating a motor vehicle and order the
clerk of the court to report the violation to the Secretary
of State.
(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
in Section 5-901 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 that the
minor has been adjudicated under that Act as having

in Section 4-103 of this Code;
2. Of any person when any other law of this State
requires either the revocation or suspension of a license

3. Of any person adjudicated under the Juvenile Court
Act of 1987 based on an offense determined to have been

organized gang as provided in Section 5-710 of that Act,
and that involved the operation or use of a motor vehicle
or the use of a driver's license or permit. The revocation
shall remain in effect for the period determined by the
court. Upon the direction of the court, the Secretary shall
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
effective immediately.
(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
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.
(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) 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
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
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
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
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
other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or
a similar out-of-state offense; or
(B) a statutory summary suspension or revocation
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
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
or permit to that person.
(e) This Section is subject to the provisions of the Driver
License Compact.
(f) Any revocation imposed upon any person under
subsections 2 and 3 of paragraph (b) that is in effect on
December 31, 1988 shall be converted to a suspension for a like
period of time.

driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
driving privileges have been revoked under any provisions of
this Code.

or a similar provision of a local ordinance. The person must
pay to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
not to exceed $30 for each month that he or she uses the

and, subject to appropriation, shall be used for enforcement
and prevention of driving while under the influence of alcohol,
other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds or any
combination thereof, as defined by Section 11-501 of this Code,
including but not limited to the purchase of law enforcement
equipment and commodities to assist in the prevention of
alcohol related criminal violence throughout the State; police
officer training and education in areas related to alcohol
related crime, including but not limited to DUI training; and
police officer salaries, including but not limited to salaries
for hire back funding for safety checkpoints, saturation
patrols, and liquor store sting operations.
(h) Whenever an individual is sentenced for an offense
based upon an arrest for a violation of Section 11-501 or a
similar provision of a local ordinance, and the professional
evaluation recommends remedial or rehabilitative treatment or
education, neither the treatment nor the education shall be the
sole disposition and either or both may be imposed only in
conjunction with another disposition. The court shall monitor
compliance with any remedial education or treatment
recommendations contained in the professional evaluation.
Programs conducting alcohol or other drug evaluation or
remedial education must be licensed by the Department of Human
Services. If the individual is not a resident of Illinois,
however, the court may accept an alcohol or other drug
evaluation or remedial education program in the individual's
state of residence. Programs providing treatment must be
licensed under existing applicable alcoholism and drug
treatment licensure standards.
(i) In addition to any other fine or penalty required by
law, an individual convicted of a violation of Section 11-501,
Section 5-7 of the Snowmobile Registration and Safety Act,
Section 5-16 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, or a
similar provision, whose operation of a motor vehicle,
snowmobile, or watercraft while in violation of Section 11-501,
Section 5-7 of the Snowmobile Registration and Safety Act,
Section 5-16 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, or a
similar provision proximately caused an incident resulting in
an appropriate emergency response, shall be required to make
restitution to a public agency for the costs of that emergency
response. The restitution may not exceed $1,000 per public
agency for each emergency response. As used in this subsection
(i), "emergency response" means any incident requiring a
response by a police officer, a firefighter carried on the
rolls of a regularly constituted fire department, or an
ambulance. With respect to funds designated for the Department
of State Police, the moneys shall be remitted by the circuit
court clerk to the State Police within one month after receipt
for deposit into the State Police DUI Fund. With respect to
funds designated for the Department of Natural Resources, the
Department of Natural Resources shall deposit the moneys into
the Conservation Police Operations Assistance Fund.
(j) A person that is subject to a chemical test or tests of
blood under subsection (a) of Section 11-501.1 or subdivision
(c)(2) of Section 11-501.2 of this Code, whether or not that
person consents to testing, shall be liable for the expense up
to $500 for blood withdrawal by a physician authorized to
practice medicine, a licensed physician assistant, a licensed
advanced practice nurse, a registered nurse, a trained
phlebotomist, a licensed paramedic, or a qualified person other
than a police officer approved by the Department of State
Police to withdraw blood, who responds, whether at a law
enforcement facility or a health care facility, to a police
department request for the drawing of blood based upon refusal
of the person to submit to a lawfully requested breath test or
probable cause exists to believe the test would disclose the
ingestion, consumption, or use of drugs or intoxicating
compounds if:
(1) the person is found guilty of violating Section
11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance; or
(2) the person pleads guilty to or stipulates to facts
supporting a violation of Section 11-503 of this Code or a
similar provision of a local ordinance when the plea or
stipulation was the result of a plea agreement in which the
person was originally charged with violating Section
11-501 of this Code or a similar local ordinance.
