privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the petitioner's
residence and petitioner's place of employment or within the

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

SB1478 - 6 - LRB097 06968 HEP 47061 b
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, 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, 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 under
Section 11-501.1; or
(iii) a suspension pursuant to Section
6-203.1;
arising out of separate occurrences; or

SB1478 - 7 - LRB097 06968 HEP 47061 b
(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, 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

SB1478 - 8 - LRB097 06968 HEP 47061 b
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, 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

SB1478 - 9 - LRB097 06968 HEP 47061 b
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 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 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

SB1478 - 10 - LRB097 06968 HEP 47061 b
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, 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.

SB1478 - 11 - LRB097 06968 HEP 47061 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, where the use
of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense; or

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

SB1478 - 12 - LRB097 06968 HEP 47061 b
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,
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.

SB1478 - 13 - LRB097 06968 HEP 47061 b

who has been convicted of a second or subsequent offense under
Section 11-501 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 device. The Secretary shall establish
by rule and regulation the procedures for certification and use
of the interlock system, the amount of the fee, and the
procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these fees.

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

not be eligible for the issuance of a restricted driving
permit.

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, 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

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, 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

Code of 1961, relating to the offense of reckless

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, 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

SB1478 - 21 - LRB097 06968 HEP 47061 b
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.
