| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by | ||||||
| 5 | changing Section 6-105 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (625 ILCS 5/6-105) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-105)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 6-105.
Instruction permits and temporary licenses
for | ||||||
| 8 | persons 18 years of age or older.
| ||||||
| 9 | (a) Except as provided in this Section, the Secretary of | ||||||
| 10 | State upon
receiving proper application and payment of the | ||||||
| 11 | required fee may issue an
instruction permit to any person 18 | ||||||
| 12 | years of age or older
who is not ineligible for a license under
| ||||||
| 13 | paragraphs 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, or 8 of Section 6-103, after the | ||||||
| 14 | applicant has
successfully passed such examination as the | ||||||
| 15 | Secretary of State in his
discretion may prescribe.
| ||||||
| 16 | 1. An instruction permit entitles the holder while having | ||||||
| 17 | the permit in
his immediate possession to drive a motor | ||||||
| 18 | vehicle, excluding a motor driven
cycle or motorcycle, upon | ||||||
| 19 | the highways for a period of 12 months after the
date of its | ||||||
| 20 | issuance when accompanied by a licensed driver
who is 21 years | ||||||
| 21 | of age or older, who has had a
valid driver's license | ||||||
| 22 | classification to operate such vehicle for at least
one year | ||||||
| 23 | and has had one year of driving experience
with such | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | classification and who is occupying a seat beside the
driver.
| ||||||
| 2 | 2. A 12 month instruction permit for a motor driven cycle | ||||||
| 3 | or motorcycle
may be issued
to a person 18 years of age or | ||||||
| 4 | more, and entitles the holder to
drive upon the highways | ||||||
| 5 | during daylight under the direct supervision of a
licensed
| ||||||
| 6 | motor driven cycle operator or motorcycle operator
with the | ||||||
| 7 | same or
greater classification, who is 21 years of age or older | ||||||
| 8 | and who has at least

| ||||||
| 9 | 3. (Blank).
| ||||||
| 10 | (b) (Blank).
| ||||||
| 11 | (c) The Secretary of State may issue a temporary
driver's | ||||||
| 12 | license to an applicant for a license permitting the operation
| ||||||
| 13 | of a motor vehicle while the Secretary is completing
an | ||||||
| 14 | investigation and determination of all facts relative to
such | ||||||
| 15 | applicant's eligibility to receive such license, or for any | ||||||
| 16 | other
reason prescribed by rule or regulation promulgated by | ||||||
| 17 | the Secretary of
State. Such permit must be in the applicant's | ||||||
| 18 | immediate possession
while operating a motor vehicle, and it | ||||||
| 19 | shall be invalid when the applicant's
driver's license has | ||||||
| 20 | been issued or for good cause has been refused.
In each case | ||||||
| 21 | the Secretary of State may issue the temporary driver's
| ||||||
| 22 | license for such period as appropriate but in no
event for | ||||||
| 23 | longer than 90 days. The Secretary may issue such additional | ||||||
| 24 | temporary driver's licenses to an applicant as are necessary | ||||||
| 25 | to allow the applicant to drive during the pendency of the | ||||||
| 26 | investigation, valid for such a period as is appropriate, but | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | in no event for longer than 90 days each.
