restricted driving permit for such period as he deems
appropriate, except that such permit shall expire within

09800SB1757sam001 - 21 - LRB098 08452 MLW 42428 a

permit issued hereunder 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
hereunder 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 driver remedial or rehabilitative
program. In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of

address to the Secretary; or

or medical variance as required by 49 C.F.R. 383.71 or
submitted a fraudulent medical examiner's certificate or
medical variance; or
13. has had his or her medical examiner's certificate,
medical variance, or both removed or rescinded by the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration; or
14. failed to self-certify as to the type of driving in
which the CDL driver engages or expects to engage; or
15. was convicted of fraud relating to the testing or
issuance of a CDL or CLP, in which case only the CDL or CLP

shall not issue a CLP or CDL for a period of one year from
the date of cancellation.
(b) Upon such cancellation the licensee or permittee must
surrender the license or permit so cancelled to the Secretary
of State.
(c) Except as provided in Sections 6-206.1 and 7-702.1, the
Secretary of State shall have exclusive authority to grant,
issue, deny, cancel, suspend and revoke driving privileges,

reporting requirements shall also apply to individuals
adjudicated under the Juvenile Court Act or the Juvenile Court
Act of 1987 who have committed a violation of Section 11-501 of
this Code, or similar provision of a local ordinance, or
Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code

09800SB1757sam001 - 27 - LRB098 08452 MLW 42428 a
under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 based on any offense

addicted minor, or a delinquent minor and whose driver's
license and privilege to drive a motor vehicle has been ordered
suspended for such times as determined by the Court, but only
until he or she attains 18 years of age. It shall be the duty of
the clerk of the court in which adjudication is had within 5
days thereafter to forward to the Secretary of State a report
of the adjudication and the court order requiring the Secretary
of State to suspend the minor's driver's license and driving
privilege for such time as determined by the Court, but only

dispositions reported to the Secretary of State under this

However, information reported relative to the offense of
reckless homicide, or Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, shall be privileged and
available only to the Secretary of State, courts, and police
officers.

09800SB1757sam001 - 28 - LRB098 08452 MLW 42428 a

this subsection (a), excluding parking violations, when
the driver holds a CLP or CDL, regardless of the type of
vehicle in which the violation occurred, or when any driver
committed the violation in a commercial motor vehicle as
defined in Section 6-500 of this Code.
(3) Whenever an order is entered vacating the
forfeiture of any bail, security or bond given to secure
appearance for any offense under this Code or similar

for a violation of Sections 6-303, 11-401, 11-501 or a
similar provision of a local ordinance, 11-503, 11-504, and

be forwarded to the Secretary of State via the Supreme
Court in the form and format required by the Illinois
Supreme Court and established by a written agreement
between the Supreme Court and the Secretary of State. In
counties with a population over 300,000, instead of
forwarding reports to the Supreme Court, reports of
conviction under this Code and sentencing hearings under
the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 in an electronic format or a
computer processible medium may be forwarded to the
Secretary of State by the Circuit Court Clerk in a form and
format required by the Secretary of State and established
by written agreement between the Circuit Court Clerk and
the Secretary of State. Failure to forward the reports of
conviction or sentencing hearing under the Juvenile Court
Act of 1987 as required by this Section shall be deemed an
omission of duty and it shall be the duty of the several

Section.

the clerk, or judge, if the court has no clerk, to forward such
restricted driving permit and a facsimile of the officer's
citation to the Secretary of State as expeditiously as
practicable.

09800SB1757sam001 - 30 - LRB098 08452 MLW 42428 a
collateral deposited to secure a defendant's appearance in
court when forfeiture has not been vacated, or the failure of a
defendant to appear for trial after depositing his driver's
license in lieu of other bail, shall be equivalent to a
conviction.
(d) For the purpose of providing the Secretary of State
with records necessary to properly monitor and assess driver
performance and assist the courts in the proper disposition of
repeat traffic law offenders, the clerk of the court shall
forward to the Secretary of State, on a form prescribed by the
Secretary, records of a driver's participation in a driver
remedial or rehabilitative program which was required, through
a court order or court supervision, in relation to the driver's
arrest for a violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a
similar provision of a local ordinance. The clerk of the court
shall also forward to the Secretary, either on paper or in an
electronic format or a computer processible medium as required
under paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of this Section, any
disposition of court supervision for any traffic violation,
excluding those offenses listed in paragraph (2) of subsection
(a) of this Section. These reports shall be sent within 5 days
after disposition, or, if the driver is referred to a driver
remedial or rehabilitative program, within 5 days of the
driver's referral to that program. These reports received by
the Secretary of State, including those required to be
forwarded under paragraph (a)(4), shall be privileged

09800SB1757sam001 - 31 - LRB098 08452 MLW 42428 a
information, available only (i) to the affected driver, (ii) to
the parent or guardian of a person under the age of 18 years
holding an instruction permit or a graduated driver's license,
and (iii) for use by the courts, police officers, prosecuting
authorities, the Secretary of State, and the driver licensing
administrator of any other state. In accordance with 49 C.F.R.
Part 384, all reports of court supervision, except violations
related to parking, shall be forwarded to the Secretary of
State for all holders of a CLP or CDL or any driver who commits
an offense while driving a commercial motor vehicle. These
reports shall be recorded to the driver's record as a
conviction for use in the disqualification of the driver's
commercial motor vehicle privileges and shall not be privileged
information.

license or permit issued.

that a driver's license or permit was issued based on invalid,
fictitious, or fraudulent documents, may upon written notice of
at least 5 days require the person to appear at a Driver

of identity. Refusal or neglect of the person to appear shall

09800SB1757sam001 - 33 - LRB098 08452 MLW 42428 a
result in cancellation of the person's license or permit.

receives credible information that a CLP or CDL was issued and
fraud was committed relating to the issuance of the CLP or CDL,
the Secretary shall require the CLP or CDL holder to re-submit
to all testing required for the issuance of the CLP or CDL
(written, pre-trip, skills, and road exams). Upon written
notification by the Secretary, the holder shall have 5 days to
submit to re-examination. Failure to appear or successfully
complete the examination shall result in the cancellation of
the CLP or CDL under Section 6-201 of this Act.
