(625 ILCS 5/6-106.1a)
Sec. 6-106.1a. Cancellation of school bus driver permit; trace of alcohol.
(a) A person who has been issued a school bus driver permit by the Secretary
of State in accordance with Section 6-106.1 of this Code and who drives or is
in actual physical control of a school bus
or any other vehicle owned or operated by or for a public or private
school, or a school operated by a religious institution, when the vehicle is
being used over a regularly scheduled  route for the transportation of persons
enrolled as students in grade 12 or below, in connection with any activity of
the entities listed,  upon the public highways of this State shall be
deemed to have given consent to a chemical test or tests of blood, breath, other bodily substance, or
urine for the purpose of determining the alcohol content of the person's blood
if arrested, as evidenced
by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket for any violation of this
Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance, if a police officer
has probable cause to believe that the driver has consumed any amount of an
alcoholic beverage based upon evidence of the driver's physical condition
or other first hand knowledge of the police officer.   The test or tests shall
be administered at the direction of the arresting officer.  The law enforcement
agency employing the officer shall designate which of the aforesaid tests shall
be administered.  A urine or other bodily substance test may be administered even after a blood or breath
test or both has been administered.
(b) A person who is dead, unconscious, or who is otherwise in a condition
rendering that person incapable of refusal, shall be deemed not to have
withdrawn the consent provided by paragraph (a) of this Section and the test or
tests may be administered subject to the following provisions:
(1) Chemical analysis of the person's blood, urine,     breath, or other bodily substance, to be considered valid under the provisions of this Section, shall have been performed according to standards promulgated by the Illinois State Police by an individual possessing a valid permit issued by the Illinois State Police for this purpose.  The Director of the Illinois State Police is authorized to approve satisfactory techniques or methods, to ascertain the qualifications and competence of individuals to conduct analyses, to issue permits that shall be subject to termination or revocation at the direction of the Illinois State Police, and to certify the accuracy of breath testing equipment.  The Illinois State Police shall prescribe rules as necessary.
(2) When a person submits to a blood test at the     request of a law enforcement officer under the provisions of this Section, only a physician authorized to practice medicine, a licensed physician assistant, a licensed advanced practice registered nurse, a registered nurse, or other qualified person trained in venipuncture and acting under the direction of a licensed physician may withdraw blood for the purpose of determining the alcohol content. This limitation does not apply to the taking of  breath, other bodily substance, or urine specimens.
(3) The person tested may have a physician, qualified     technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other qualified person of his or her own choosing administer a chemical test or tests in addition to any test or tests administered at the direction of a law enforcement officer.  The test administered at the request of the person may be admissible into evidence at a hearing conducted in accordance with Section 2-118 of this Code.  The failure or inability to obtain an additional test by a person shall not preclude the consideration of the previously performed chemical test.
(4) Upon a request of the person who submits to a     chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement officer, full information concerning the test or tests shall be made available  to the person or that person's attorney by the requesting law enforcement agency within 72 hours of receipt of the test result.
(5) Alcohol concentration means either grams of     alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.
(6) If a driver is receiving medical treatment as a     result of a motor vehicle crash, a physician licensed to practice medicine, licensed physician assistant, licensed advanced practice registered nurse, registered nurse, or other qualified person trained in venipuncture and acting under the direction of a licensed physician shall withdraw blood for testing purposes to ascertain the presence of alcohol upon the specific request of a law enforcement officer. However, that testing shall not be performed until, in the opinion of the medical personnel on scene, the withdrawal can be made without interfering with or endangering the well-being of the patient.
(c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided in this Section shall
be warned
by the law enforcement officer requesting the test that a refusal to submit to
the test, or
submission to the test resulting in an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00,
may result
in the loss of that person's privilege to possess a school bus driver
permit.  The loss of the individual's privilege to possess a school bus driver
permit shall be imposed in accordance with Section 6-106.1b of this Code. A person requested to submit to a test under this Section shall also acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the warning required under this subsection (c).  If the person refuses to acknowledge receipt of the warning, the law enforcement officer shall make a written notation on the warning that the person refused to sign the warning.  A person's refusal to sign the warning shall not be evidence that the person was not read the warning.
(d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that discloses an
alcohol concentration of more than 0.00, the law enforcement officer shall
immediately submit a sworn report to the Secretary of State on a form
prescribed by the Secretary of State certifying that the test or tests were
requested under subsection (a) and the person refused to submit to a test or
tests or submitted to testing which disclosed an alcohol concentration of more
than 0.00.  The law enforcement officer shall submit the same sworn report when
a person who has been issued a school bus driver permit and who was operating a
school bus or any other vehicle owned
or operated by or for a public or private school, or a school operated by a
religious institution, when the vehicle is being used over a regularly
scheduled route for the transportation of persons enrolled as students in grade
12 or below, in connection with
any activity of the entities listed, submits to testing under Section 11-501.1
of this Code and the testing discloses an alcohol concentration of more than
0.00 and less than the alcohol concentration at which driving or being in
actual physical control of a motor vehicle is prohibited under paragraph (1) of
subsection (a) of Section 11-501.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement officer, the Secretary
of State shall enter the school bus driver permit sanction on the
individual's driving record and the sanction shall be effective on the
46th day following the date notice of the sanction was given to the person.
The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report shall serve immediate
notice of this school bus driver permit sanction on the person and the sanction
shall be effective on the 46th day following the date notice was given.
In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of more than 0.00 is
established by a subsequent analysis of blood, other bodily substance, or urine, the police officer or
arresting agency shall give notice as provided in this Section or by deposit in
the United States mail of that notice in an envelope with postage prepaid and
addressed to that person at his or her last known address and the loss of the
school
bus driver permit shall be effective on the 46th day following the date notice
was given.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement officer, the Secretary
of State shall also give notice of the school bus driver permit sanction to the
driver and the driver's current employer by mailing a notice of the effective
date of the sanction to the individual.  However, shall the sworn report be
defective by not containing sufficient information or be completed in error,
the notice of the school bus driver permit sanction may not be mailed to the
person or his current employer or entered to the driving record,
but rather the sworn report shall be returned to the issuing law enforcement
agency.
(e) A driver may contest this school bus driver permit sanction by
requesting an administrative hearing with the Secretary of State in accordance
with Section 2-118 of this Code.  An individual whose blood alcohol
concentration is shown to be more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if
he or she consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
ceremony.  An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is shown to be more
than 0.00 shall not be subject to this Section if the individual's blood
alcohol concentration resulted only from ingestion of the prescribed or
recommended dosage of medicine that contained alcohol.  The petition for that
hearing shall not stay or delay the effective date of the impending suspension.
The scope of this hearing shall be limited to the issues of:
(1) whether the police officer had probable cause to     believe that the person was driving or in actual physical control of a school bus or any other vehicle owned or operated by or for a public or private school, or a school operated by a religious institution, when the vehicle is being used over a regularly scheduled route for the transportation of persons enrolled as students in grade 12 or below, in connection with any activity of the entities listed, upon the public highways of the State and the police officer had reason to believe that the person was in violation of any provision of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance; and
(2) whether the person was issued a Uniform Traffic     Ticket for any violation of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance; and
(3) whether the police officer had probable cause to     believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police officer; and
(4) whether the person, after being advised by the     officer that the privilege to possess a school bus driver permit would be canceled if the person refused to submit to and complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or complete the test or tests to determine the person's alcohol concentration; and
(5) whether the person, after being advised by the     officer that the privileges to possess a school bus driver permit would be canceled if the person submits to a chemical test or tests and the test or tests disclose an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00 and the person did submit to and complete the test or tests that determined an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00; and
(6) whether the test result of an alcohol     concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption of alcohol in the performance of a religious service or ceremony; and
(7) whether the test result of an alcohol     concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption of alcohol through ingestion of the prescribed or recommended dosage of medicine.
The Secretary of State may adopt administrative rules setting forth
circumstances under which the holder of a school bus driver permit is not
required to
appear in
person at the hearing.
Provided that the petitioner may subpoena the officer, the hearing may be
conducted upon a review of the law enforcement officer's own official
reports.  Failure of the officer to answer the subpoena shall be grounds for a
continuance if, in the hearing officer's discretion, the continuance is
appropriate.  At the conclusion of the hearing held under Section 2-118 of this
Code, the Secretary of State may rescind, continue, or modify
the school bus driver permit sanction.
(f) The results of any chemical testing performed in accordance with
subsection (a) of this Section are not admissible in any civil or criminal
proceeding, except that the results
of the testing may be considered at a hearing held under Section 2-118 of this
Code.  However, the results of the testing may not be used to impose
driver's license sanctions under Section 11-501.1 of this Code.  A law
enforcement officer may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension or revocation of
driving privileges under Section 11-501.1 of this Code if other physical
evidence or first hand knowledge forms the basis of that suspension or revocation.
(g) This Section applies only to drivers who have been issued a school bus
driver permit in accordance with Section 6-106.1 of this Code at the time of
the issuance of the Uniform Traffic Ticket for a violation of this
Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and a chemical test
request is made under this Section.
(h) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending, revoking, canceling,
or denying any license, permit, registration, or certificate of title shall be
subject to judicial review in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County or in the
Circuit Court of Cook County, and the provisions of the Administrative Review
Law  and its rules are hereby adopted and shall apply to and govern every
action for the judicial review of final acts or decisions of the Secretary of
State under this Section.

(b) The application of any person under
the age of 18 years, and not legally emancipated, for a driver's 
license or permit to operate a motor vehicle issued under the laws of this
State, shall be accompanied by the written consent of either parent of the
applicant; otherwise by the guardian having custody of the applicant, or
in the event there is no parent or guardian, then by another responsible adult. The  written consent must accompany any application for a driver's license under this subsection (b), regardless of whether or not the required written consent also accompanied the person's previous application for an instruction permit.

occur while the person was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle and
order the clerk of the court to report the violation to the Secretary of State
as such.

applicant
under
the
age of 18 years who has committed and subsequently been convicted of an offense against traffic regulations governing the movement of vehicles, any violation of this Section or Section 12-603.1 of this Code, or who has received a disposition of court supervision for a violation of Section 6-20 of the Illinois Liquor Control Act of 1934 or a similar provision of a local ordinance.
(e) No graduated driver's license holder under the age
of 18 years shall operate any

(b-5) In order to qualify for certification as an adult driver education course provider, each applicant must authorize an investigation that includes a fingerprint-based background check to determine if the applicant has ever been convicted of a criminal offense  and, if so, the disposition of any conviction. This authorization shall indicate the scope of the inquiry and the agencies that may be contacted. Upon receiving  this authorization, the Secretary of State may request and receive information and assistance from any federal, State, or local governmental agency as part of the authorized investigation. Each applicant shall submit his or her fingerprints to the Illinois State Police in the form and manner prescribed by the Illinois State Police. These fingerprints shall be checked against fingerprint records now and hereafter filed in the Illinois State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal history record databases. The Illinois State Police shall charge applicants a fee for conducting the criminal history record check, which shall be deposited into the State Police Services Fund and shall not exceed the actual cost of the State and national criminal history record check. The Illinois State Police shall furnish, pursuant to positive identification, records of Illinois criminal  convictions to the Secretary and shall forward the national criminal history record information to the Secretary. Applicants shall pay any other  fingerprint-related fees. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the information derived from the investigation, including the source of the information and any conclusions or recommendations derived from the information by the Secretary of State, shall be provided to the applicant upon request to the Secretary of State prior to any final action by the Secretary of State on the application.

The information obtained from the investigation may be maintained by the Secretary of State or any agency to which the information was transmitted. Only information and standards which bear a reasonable and rational relation to the performance of providing adult driver education shall be used by the Secretary of State. Any employee of the Secretary of State who gives or causes to be given away any confidential information concerning any criminal convictions or disposition of criminal convictions of an applicant shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor unless release of the information is authorized by this Section.
(c) The Secretary may permit a course provider to offer the course online, if the Secretary is satisfied the course provider has established adequate procedures for verifying:
(1) the identity of the person taking the course     online; and
(2) the person completes the entire course.
(d) The Secretary shall establish a method of electronic verification of a student's successful completion of the course.
(e) The fee charged by the course provider must bear a reasonable relationship to the cost of the course.  The Secretary shall post on the Secretary of State's website a list of approved course providers, the fees charged by the providers, and contact information for each provider.

under the age of 18 years in any of the following events:
1. Upon the verified written request of the person     who consented to the application of the minor that the license or permit be cancelled;
2. Upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of the death     of the person who consented to the application of the minor;
3. Upon receipt of satisfactory evidence that the     person who consented to the application of a minor no longer has legal custody of the minor;
4. Upon receipt of information, submitted on a form     prescribed by the Secretary of State under Section 26-3a of the School Code and provided voluntarily by nonpublic schools, that a license-holding minor no longer meets the school attendance requirements defined in Section 6-107 of this Code.
A minor who provides proof acceptable to the     Secretary that the minor has resumed regular school attendance or home instruction or that his or her license or permit was cancelled in error shall have his or her license reinstated. The Secretary shall adopt rules for implementing this subdivision (a)4;
5. Upon determination by the Secretary that at the     time of license issuance, the minor held an instruction permit and had a traffic citation for which a disposition had not been rendered.
After cancellation, the Secretary of State shall not issue a new
license or permit until the applicant meets the provisions of Section
6-107 of this Code.
(b) The Secretary of State shall cancel the license or permit of any
person under the age of 18 years if he or she is convicted of violating
the Cannabis Control Act, the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, or the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act while that person was in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle.
For purposes of this Section, any person placed on probation under Section
10 of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled
Substances Act, or Section 70 of the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act shall not be considered convicted.
Any person found guilty of this offense,
while in actual physical control of a motor vehicle, shall have an entry
made in the court record by the judge that this offense did occur
while the person was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle and
order the clerk of the court to report the violation to the Secretary of
State as such.  After the cancellation, the Secretary of State
shall not issue a new license or permit for a period of one year after the
date of cancellation or until the minor attains the age of 18 years,
whichever is longer.
 However, 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 between the person's residence and
person's place of employment or within the scope of the person's employment related
duties, or to allow transportation for
the person or a household member of the person's family for the receipt of
necessary medical care or, if the professional evaluation indicates,
provide transportation for the petitioner for alcohol remedial or
rehabilitative activity, or for the person to attend classes, as a student,
in an accredited educational institution; if the person is able to
demonstrate that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
available; provided that the Secretary's discretion shall be limited to
cases where undue hardship would result from a failure to issue such
restricted driving permit.  In each case the Secretary of State may issue
a restricted driving permit for a period as he
deems appropriate,
except that the permit shall expire no later than 2 years from the date of
issuance.  A restricted driving 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.
Thereafter, upon reapplication for a license as
provided in Section 6-106 of this Code or a permit as provided in Section
6-105 of this Code and upon payment of the appropriate application fee, the
Secretary of State shall issue the applicant a license as provided in Section
6-106 of this Code or shall issue the applicant a permit as provided in Section 6-105.

(a-4) If an applicant for a driver's license or instruction permit has a current identification card issued by the Secretary of State, the Secretary may require the applicant to utilize the same residence address and name on the identification card, driver's license, and instruction permit records maintained by the Secretary.

including education and awareness activities, to promote organ and tissue
donation.

license or permit or may set forth such restrictions upon the usual
license or permit form.
(c) The Secretary of State may issue a probationary license to a person
whose driving privileges have been suspended pursuant to subsection (d) of this
Section or subsection (a)(2) of Section 6-206 of this
Code.  This subsection (c) does not apply to any driver required to possess a CDL for the purpose of operating a commercial motor vehicle. The Secretary of State shall promulgate rules pursuant to the
Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, setting forth the conditions and
criteria for the issuance and cancellation of probationary licenses.
(d) The Secretary of State may upon receiving satisfactory evidence

conditions by which the individual may obtain and renew this
special restricted license. At a minimum, all drivers must meet

At a minimum, all drivers renewing this license must meet the
following requirements:
1. Successfully complete a road test administered     during nighttime hours.

subsection (g) whose privilege to drive during nighttime hours has been
suspended due to a crash occurring during nighttime hours may request
a hearing as provided in Section 2-118 of this Code to contest that suspension.
If it is
determined that the crash for which the driver was at fault was not
influenced by the driver's use of vision aid arrangements other than standard
eyeglasses or contact lenses, the Secretary may reinstate that driver's
privilege to drive during nighttime hours.
(i)   The Secretary of State may issue a special restricted training permit for a period of 6 months to individuals using vision aid arrangements other than standard eyeglasses or contact lenses, allowing the operation of a motor vehicle between sunset and 10:00 p.m. provided the driver is accompanied by a person holding a valid driver's license without nighttime operation restrictions.

At a minimum, all persons applying for a special restricted training permit must meet the following requirements:

		CANCELLATION, SUSPENSION, OR
REVOCATION OF LICENSES AND PERMITS
(625 ILCS 5/6-201)
Sec. 6-201. Authority to cancel licenses and permits.
(a) The Secretary of State is authorized to cancel any license or permit
upon determining that the holder thereof:
1. was not entitled to the issuance thereof     hereunder; or
2. failed to give the required or correct information     in his application; or
3. failed to pay any fees owed to the Secretary of     State under this Code for the license or permit; or
4. committed any fraud in the making of such     application; or
5. is ineligible therefor under the provisions of     Section 6-103 of this Act, as amended; or
6. has refused or neglected to submit an alcohol,     drug, and intoxicating compound evaluation or to submit to examination or re-examination as required under this Act; or
7. has been  convicted of violating the Cannabis     Control Act, the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act while that individual was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle. For purposes of this Section, any person placed on probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or Section 70 of the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act shall not be considered convicted. Any person found guilty of this offense, while in actual physical control of a motor vehicle, shall have an entry made in the court record by the judge that this offense did occur while the person was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle and order the clerk of the court to report the violation to the Secretary of State as such. After the cancellation, the Secretary of State shall not issue a new license or permit for a period of one year after the date of cancellation. However, 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 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 transportation for the petitioner or a household member of the petitioner's family for the receipt of necessary medical care, or provide transportation for the petitioner to and from  alcohol or drug  remedial or rehabilitative activity recommended by a licensed service provider, or for the petitioner to attend classes, as a student, in an accredited educational institution. The petitioner must demonstrate that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably available; 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 such restricted driving permit.  In each case the Secretary of State may issue such restricted driving permit for such period as he deems appropriate, except that such permit shall expire no later than 2 years from the date of issuance.  A restricted driving 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.

10. is ineligible for a license or permit under     Section 6-107, 6-107.1, or 6-108 of this Code; or
11.  refused or neglected to appear at a Driver     Services facility to have the license or permit corrected and a new license or permit issued or to present documentation for verification of identity; or
12. failed to submit a medical examiner's certificate     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

15. has submitted acceptable documentation indicating     out-of-state residency to the Secretary of State to be released from the requirement of showing proof of financial responsibility in this State; or
16. was convicted of fraud relating to the testing or     issuance of a CDL or CLP, in which case only the CDL or CLP shall be cancelled. After cancellation, the Secretary shall not issue a CLP or CDL for a period of one year from the date of cancellation; or

The reporting requirements of this subsection shall     apply to all violations stated in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection when the individual has been adjudicated under the Juvenile Court Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.  Such 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 of 2012, relating to the offense of reckless homicide, or Section 5-7 of the Snowmobile Registration and Safety Act or Section 5-16 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, relating to the offense of operating a snowmobile or a watercraft while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or combination thereof. These reporting requirements also apply to individuals adjudicated under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 based on any offense determined to have been committed in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang, as provided in Section 5-710 of that Act, if those activities involved the operation or use of a motor vehicle.  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 until he or she attains the age of 18 years.  All juvenile court dispositions reported to the Secretary of State under this provision shall be processed by the Secretary of State as if the cases had been adjudicated in traffic or criminal court. 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.
The reporting requirements of this subsection (a)     apply to all violations listed in paragraphs (1) and (2) of 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 revoking pretrial     release given to secure appearance for any offense under this Code or similar offenses under municipal ordinance, it shall be the duty of the clerk of the court in which such revocation was had or the judge of such court if such court has no clerk, within 5 days thereafter to forward to the Secretary of State a report of the revocation.
(4) A report of any disposition of court supervision     for a violation of Sections 6-303, 11-401, 11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance, 11-503, 11-504, and 11-506 of this Code, Section 5-7 of the Snowmobile Registration and Safety Act, and Section 5-16 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act shall be forwarded to the Secretary of State. A report of any disposition of court supervision for a violation of an offense defined as a serious traffic violation in this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance committed by a person under the age of 21 years shall be forwarded to the Secretary of State.
(5) 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 shall 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 State's Attorneys to enforce the requirements of this Section.
(b) Whenever a restricted driving permit is forwarded to a court, as a
result of confiscation by a police officer pursuant to the authority in
Section 6-113(f), it shall be the duty of 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.
(c) For the purposes of this Code, a revocation of pretrial release that has not been vacated, or the failure of a defendant to appear for trial
after depositing his driver's license, 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 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.

14.  Violation of paragraph (a) of Section 11-506 of     this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance relating to the offense of street racing;

17. Violation of subsection (a-2) of Section     11-1301.3 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance;

19. Violation of subsection (a) of Section 11-1414 of     this Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, relating to the offense of overtaking or passing of a school bus when the driver, in committing the violation, is involved in a motor vehicle crash that results in death to another and the violation is a proximate cause of the death.
(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 committed an offense relating to motor vehicles prescribed in Section 4-103 of this Code;

The revocation shall remain in effect for the period determined by the court.
(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 persons with disabilities 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.
(1.5) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most recent revocation, or after 5 years from the date of release from a period of imprisonment resulting from a conviction of the most recent offense, whichever is later, provided the person, in addition to all other requirements of the Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence:
(A)   a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted     abstinence from alcohol and  the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis under the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance under the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound under the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine under the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act; and
(B)   the successful completion of any rehabilitative     treatment and  involvement in any ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be recommended by a properly licensed service provider according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code.
In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a restricted driving permit under this paragraph (1.5), the Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including, but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and the results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code and who have been convicted of more than one violation of paragraph (3), paragraph (4), or paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of  Section 11-501 of this Code shall not be eligible to apply for a restricted driving permit.
A restricted driving permit issued under this paragraph (1.5) shall provide that the holder may only operate motor vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device as required under  paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of this Section and subparagraph (A) of paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of Section 6-206 of this Code. The Secretary may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend the conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under this paragraph (1.5) if the holder operates a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device, or for any other reason authorized under this Code.
A restricted driving permit issued under this paragraph (1.5) shall be revoked, and the holder barred from applying for or being issued a restricted driving permit in the future, if the holder is subsequently convicted of a violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, a similar provision of a local ordinance, or a similar offense in another state.
(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 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     subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of this Code, 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. For any person who, within a 5-year period, is convicted of a second or subsequent offense under Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, this employment exemption does not apply until either a one-year period has elapsed during which that person had his or her driving privileges revoked or a one-year period has elapsed during which that person had a restricted driving permit which required the use of an ignition interlock device on every motor vehicle owned or operated by that person.
(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 no later than 2 years from the date of issuance.  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
24 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
 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;

(3.5)  If a person's license or permit is revoked or suspended due to a conviction for a violation of subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, 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.

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

For any person who, within a 5-year period, is convicted of a second or subsequent offense under Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, this employment exemption does not apply until either a one-year period has elapsed during which that person had his or her driving privileges revoked or a one-year period has elapsed during which that person had a restricted driving permit which required the use of an ignition interlock device on every motor vehicle owned or operated by that person.

manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code may be

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.

a person under the age of 16 years whose driving privileges have been revoked
under any provisions of this Code.
(h) The Secretary of State shall require the use of ignition interlock
devices for a period not less than 5 years on all vehicles owned by a person 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. During the time period in which a person is required to install an ignition interlock device under this subsection (h), that person shall only operate vehicles in which ignition interlock devices have been installed, except as allowed by subdivision (c)(5) or (d)(5) of this Section. Regardless of whether an exemption under subdivision (c) (5) or (d) (5) applies, every person subject to this subsection shall not be eligible for reinstatement until the person installs an ignition interlock device and maintains the ignition interlock device for 5 years.

For purposes of paragraphs 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 19, 25, 26, and 27 of this
subsection, license means any driver's license, any traffic ticket issued when
the person's driver's license is deposited in lieu of bail, a suspension
notice issued by the Secretary of State, a duplicate or corrected driver's
license, a probationary driver's license, or a temporary driver's license.
(b) If any conviction forming the basis of a suspension or
revocation authorized under this Section is appealed, the
Secretary of State may rescind or withhold the entry of the order of suspension
or revocation, as the case may be, provided that a certified copy of a stay
order of a court is filed with the Secretary of State.  If the conviction is
affirmed on appeal, the date of the conviction shall relate back to the time
the original judgment of conviction was entered and the 6-month limitation
prescribed shall not apply.
(c) 1. Upon suspending or revoking the driver's license or permit of
any person as authorized in this Section, the Secretary of State shall
immediately notify the person in writing of the revocation or suspension.
The notice to be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
to the last known address of the person.
2. If the Secretary of State suspends the driver's license
of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) of this Section, a
person's privilege to operate a vehicle as an occupation shall not be
suspended, provided an affidavit is properly completed, the appropriate fee
received, and a permit issued prior to the effective date of the
suspension, unless 5 offenses were committed, at least 2 of which occurred
while operating a commercial vehicle in connection with the driver's
regular occupation. All other driving privileges shall be suspended by the
Secretary of State. Any driver prior to operating a vehicle for
occupational purposes only must submit the affidavit on forms to be
provided by the Secretary of State setting forth the facts of the person's
occupation.  The affidavit shall also state the number of offenses
committed while operating a vehicle in connection with the driver's regular
occupation. The affidavit shall be accompanied by the driver's license.
Upon receipt of a properly completed affidavit, the Secretary of State
shall issue the driver a permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the
driver's regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the
Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the privilege to drive
any motor vehicle shall be suspended as set forth in the notice that was
mailed under this Section. If an affidavit is received subsequent to the
effective date of this suspension, a permit may be issued for the remainder
of the suspension period.
The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to any driver
required to possess a CDL for the purpose of operating a commercial motor vehicle.
Any person who falsely states any fact in the affidavit required
herein shall be guilty of perjury under Section 6-302 and upon conviction
thereof shall have all driving privileges revoked without further rights.
3. At the conclusion of a hearing under Section 2-118 of this Code,
the Secretary of State shall either rescind or continue an order of
revocation or shall substitute an order of suspension; or, good
cause appearing therefor, rescind, continue, change, or extend the
order of suspension.  If the Secretary of State does not rescind the order,
the Secretary may upon application,
to relieve undue hardship (as defined by the rules of the Secretary of State), issue
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, to receive necessary medical care, 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 persons with disabilities who do not hold driving privileges and are living in the petitioner's household to and from daycare. The
petitioner must demonstrate that no alternative means of
transportation is reasonably available and that the petitioner will not endanger
the public safety or welfare.
(A) 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.
(B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or     suspended 2 or more times 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 under 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.
(B-5)    If a person's license or permit is revoked     or suspended due to a conviction for a violation of subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, 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.
(C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon 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.
(D)  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. For any person who, within a 5-year period, is convicted of a second or subsequent offense under Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, this employment exemption does not apply until either a one-year period has elapsed during which that person had his or her driving privileges revoked or a one-year period has elapsed during which that person had a restricted driving permit which required the use of an ignition interlock device on every motor vehicle owned or operated by that person.
(E)  In each case the Secretary may issue a     restricted driving permit for a period deemed appropriate, except that all permits shall expire no later than 2 years from the date of issuance. 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 applicant 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.
(F) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4     of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most recent revocation or after 5 years from the date of release from a period of imprisonment resulting from a conviction of the most recent offense, whichever is later, provided the person, in addition to all other requirements of the Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence:
(i)   a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted         abstinence from alcohol and  the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis under the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance under the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound under the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine under the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act; and
(ii)   the successful completion of any         rehabilitative treatment and  involvement in any ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be recommended by a properly licensed service provider according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code.
In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a     restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F), the Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including, but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and the results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b) of  Section 6-208 of this Code and who have been convicted of more than one violation of paragraph (3), paragraph (4), or paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of  Section 11-501 of this Code shall not be eligible to apply for a restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F).
A restricted driving permit issued under this     subparagraph (F) shall provide that the holder may only operate motor vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device as required under  paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of Section 6-205 of this Code and subparagraph (A) of paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of this Section. The Secretary may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend the conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under this subparagraph (F) if the holder operates a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device, or for any other reason authorized under this Code.
A restricted driving permit issued under this     subparagraph (F) shall be revoked, and the holder barred from applying for or being issued a restricted driving permit in the future, if the holder is convicted of a violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, a similar provision of a local ordinance, or a similar offense in another state.
(c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State under this Section shall, except during the actual time the suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities, the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver under the age of 18.  However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made available to the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected driver or motor
carrier or prospective motor carrier upon request.
(c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of the notice.
(c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the reissuance of a
driver's license or permit to an applicant whose driver's license or permit has
been suspended before he or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of
the provisions of this Section, require the applicant to participate in a
driver remedial education course and be retested under Section 6-109 of this
Code.
(d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the Driver License
Compact.
(e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted driving permit to
a person under the age of 16 years whose driving privileges have been suspended

Sec. 6-206.1. Monitoring Device Driving Permit. Declaration of Policy. It is hereby declared a policy of the
State of Illinois that the driver who is impaired by alcohol, other drug or
drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds is a
threat to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, to
provide a deterrent to such practice, a statutory summary driver's license suspension is appropriate.
It is also recognized that driving is a privilege and therefore, that the granting of driving privileges, in a manner consistent with public
safety, is warranted during the period of suspension in the form of a monitoring device driving permit.  A person who drives and fails to comply with the requirements of the monitoring device driving permit commits a violation of Section 6-303 of this Code.
The following procedures shall apply whenever
a first offender, as defined in Section 11-500 of this Code, is arrested for any offense as defined in Section 11-501
or a similar provision of a local ordinance and is subject to the provisions of Section 11-501.1:
(a) Upon mailing of the notice of suspension of driving privileges as provided in subsection (h) of Section 11-501.1 of this Code, the Secretary shall also send written notice informing the person that he or she will be issued a monitoring device driving permit (MDDP). The notice shall include, at minimum, information summarizing the procedure to be followed for issuance of the MDDP, installation of the breath alcohol ignition installation device (BAIID), as provided in this Section, exemption from BAIID installation requirements, and procedures to be followed by those seeking indigent status, as provided in this Section. The notice shall also include information summarizing the procedure to be followed if the person wishes to decline issuance of the MDDP. A copy of the notice shall also be sent to the court of venue together with the notice of suspension of driving privileges, as provided in subsection (h) of Section 11-501. However, a MDDP shall not be issued if the Secretary finds that:
(1) the offender's driver's license is otherwise     invalid;
(2) death or great bodily harm to another resulted     from the arrest for Section 11-501;
(3) the offender has been previously convicted of     reckless homicide or aggravated driving under the influence involving death; or
(4) the offender is less than 18 years of age.
Any offender participating in the MDDP program must pay the Secretary a MDDP Administration Fee in an amount not to exceed $30 per month, to be deposited into the Monitoring Device Driving Permit  Administration Fee Fund.  The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these fees. The offender must have an ignition interlock device installed within 14 days of the date the Secretary issues the MDDP. The ignition interlock device provider must notify the Secretary, in a manner and form prescribed by the Secretary, of the installation.  If the Secretary does not receive notice of installation, the Secretary shall cancel the MDDP.
Upon receipt of the notice, as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section, the person may file a petition to decline issuance of the MDDP with the court of venue. The  court shall admonish the offender of all consequences of declining issuance of the MDDP including, but not limited to, the enhanced penalties for driving while suspended. After being so admonished, the offender shall be permitted, in writing, to execute a notice declining issuance of the MDDP. This notice shall be filed with the court and forwarded by the clerk of the court to the Secretary. The offender may, at any time thereafter, apply to the Secretary for issuance of a MDDP.
(a-1)  A person issued a MDDP may drive for any purpose and at any time, subject to the rules adopted by the Secretary under subsection (g).  The person must, at his or her own expense, drive only vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1, but in no event shall such person drive a commercial motor vehicle.
(a-2)  Persons who are issued a MDDP and must drive employer-owned vehicles in the course of their employment duties may seek permission to drive an employer-owned vehicle that does not have an ignition interlock device.  The employer shall provide to the Secretary a form, as prescribed by the Secretary, completed by the employer verifying that the employee must drive an employer-owned vehicle in the course of employment.   If approved by the Secretary, the form must be in the driver's possession while operating an employer-owner vehicle not equipped with an ignition interlock device.  No person may use this exemption to drive a school bus, school vehicle, or a vehicle designed to transport more than 15 passengers.  No person may use this exemption to drive an employer-owned motor vehicle that is owned by an entity that is wholly or partially owned by the person holding the MDDP, or by a family member of the person holding the MDDP.  No person may use this exemption to drive an employer-owned vehicle that is made available to the employee for personal use.  No person may drive the exempted vehicle more than 12 hours per day, 6 days per week.
(a-3) Persons who are issued a MDDP and who must drive a farm tractor to and from a farm, within 50 air miles from the originating farm are exempt from installation of a BAIID on the farm tractor, so long as the farm tractor is being used for the exclusive purpose of conducting farm operations.
(b) (Blank).
(c) (Blank).
(c-1) If the holder of the MDDP is convicted of or receives court supervision for a violation of Section 6-206.2, 6-303, 11-204, 11-204.1, 11-401, 11-501, 11-503, 11-506 or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense or is convicted of or receives court supervision for any offense for which alcohol or drugs is an element of the offense and in which a motor vehicle was involved (for an arrest other than the one for which the MDDP is issued), or de-installs the BAIID without prior authorization from the Secretary, the MDDP shall be cancelled.
(c-5)  If the Secretary determines that the person seeking the MDDP is indigent, the Secretary shall provide the person with a written document as evidence of that determination, and the person shall provide that written document to an ignition interlock device provider.  The provider shall install an ignition interlock device on that person's vehicle without charge to the person, and seek reimbursement from the Indigent BAIID Fund.
If the Secretary has deemed an offender indigent, the BAIID provider shall also provide the normal monthly monitoring services and the de-installation without charge to the offender and seek reimbursement from the Indigent BAIID Fund.  Any other monetary charges, such as a lockout fee or reset fee, shall be the responsibility of the MDDP holder.  A BAIID provider may not seek a security deposit from the Indigent BAIID Fund.
(d) MDDP information
shall be available only to the courts, police officers, and the Secretary, except during the actual period the MDDP is valid, during which
time it shall be a public record.
(e) (Blank).
(f) (Blank).
(g) The Secretary shall adopt rules for implementing this Section.  The rules adopted shall address issues including, but not limited to:  compliance with the requirements of the MDDP; methods for determining compliance with those requirements; the consequences of noncompliance with those requirements; what constitutes a violation of the MDDP; methods for determining indigency; and the duties of a person or entity that supplies the ignition interlock device.
(h) The rules adopted under subsection (g) shall provide, at a minimum, that the person is not in compliance with the requirements of the MDDP if he or she:
(1) tampers or attempts to tamper with or circumvent     the proper operation of the ignition interlock device;
(2) provides valid breath samples that register blood     alcohol levels in excess of the number of times allowed under the rules;
(3)  fails to provide evidence sufficient to satisfy     the Secretary that the ignition interlock device has been installed in the designated vehicle or vehicles; or
(4) fails to follow any other applicable rules     adopted by the Secretary.
(i) Any person or entity that supplies an ignition interlock device as provided under this Section shall, in addition to supplying only those devices which fully comply with all the rules adopted under subsection (g), provide the Secretary, within 7 days of inspection, all monitoring reports of each person who has had an ignition interlock device installed.  These reports shall be furnished in a manner or form as prescribed by the Secretary.
(j) Upon making a determination that a violation of the requirements of the MDDP has occurred, the Secretary shall extend the summary suspension period for an additional 3 months beyond the originally imposed summary suspension period, during which time the person shall only be allowed to drive vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device; provided further there are no limitations on the total number of times the summary suspension may be extended. The Secretary may, however, limit the number of extensions imposed for violations occurring during any one monitoring period, as set forth by rule. Any person whose summary suspension is extended pursuant to this Section shall have the right to contest the extension through a hearing with the Secretary, pursuant to Section 2-118 of this Code.  If the summary suspension has already terminated prior to the Secretary receiving the monitoring report that shows a violation, the Secretary shall be authorized to suspend the person's driving privileges for 3 months, provided that the Secretary may, by rule, limit the number of suspensions to be entered pursuant to this paragraph for violations occurring during any one monitoring period.  Any person whose license is suspended pursuant to this paragraph, after the summary suspension had already terminated, shall have the right to contest the suspension through a hearing with the Secretary, pursuant to Section 2-118 of this Code.  The only permit the person shall be eligible for during this new suspension period is a MDDP.
(k) A person who has had his or her summary suspension extended for the third time, or has any combination of 3 extensions and new suspensions, entered as a result of a violation that occurred while holding the MDDP, so long as the extensions and new suspensions relate to the same summary suspension, shall have his or her vehicle impounded for a period of 30 days, at the person's own expense.  A person who has his or her summary suspension extended for the fourth time, or has any combination of 4 extensions and new suspensions, entered as a result of a violation that occurred while holding the MDDP, so long as the extensions and new suspensions relate to the same summary suspension, shall have his or her vehicle subject to seizure and forfeiture. The Secretary shall notify the prosecuting authority of any third or fourth extensions or new suspension entered as a result of a violation that occurred while the person held a MDDP.  Upon receipt of the notification, the prosecuting authority shall impound or forfeit the vehicle. The impoundment or forfeiture of a vehicle shall be conducted pursuant to the procedure specified in Article 36 of the Criminal Code of 2012.
(l)  A person whose driving privileges have been suspended under Section 11-501.1 of this Code and who had a MDDP that was cancelled, or would have been cancelled had notification of a violation been received prior to expiration of the MDDP, pursuant to subsection (c-1) of this Section, shall not be eligible for reinstatement when the summary suspension is scheduled to terminate. Instead, the person's driving privileges shall be suspended for a period of not less than twice the original summary suspension period, or for the length of any extensions entered under subsection (j), whichever is longer. During the period of suspension, the person shall be eligible only to apply for a restricted driving permit.  If a restricted driving permit is granted, the offender may only operate vehicles equipped with a BAIID in accordance with this Section.
(m) Any person or entity that supplies an ignition interlock device under this Section shall, for each ignition interlock device installed, pay 5% of the total gross revenue received for the device, including monthly monitoring fees, into the Indigent BAIID Fund.  This 5% shall be clearly indicated as a separate surcharge on each invoice that is issued.  The Secretary shall conduct an annual review of the fund to determine whether the surcharge is sufficient to provide for indigent users.  The Secretary may increase or decrease this surcharge requirement as needed.
(n)  Any person or entity that supplies an ignition interlock device under this Section that is requested to provide an ignition interlock device to a person who presents written documentation of indigency from the Secretary, as provided in subsection (c-5) of this Section, shall install the device on the person's vehicle without charge to the person and shall seek reimbursement from the Indigent BAIID Fund.
(o)  The Indigent BAIID Fund is created as a special fund in the State treasury.  The Secretary shall, subject to appropriation by the General Assembly, use all money in the Indigent BAIID Fund to reimburse ignition interlock device providers who have installed devices in vehicles of indigent persons.  The Secretary shall make payments to such providers every 3 months.  If the amount of money in the fund at the time payments are made is not sufficient to pay all requests for reimbursement submitted during that 3 month period, the Secretary shall make payments on a pro-rata basis, and those payments shall be considered payment in full for the requests submitted. If the amount of money in the fund exceeds the amount necessary to pay all requests for reimbursement during that 3-month period, the Secretary shall disburse the excess to the providers on a pro rata basis.
(p)  The Monitoring Device Driving Permit Administration Fee Fund is created as a special fund in the State treasury.  The Secretary shall, subject to appropriation by the General Assembly, use the money paid into this fund to offset its administrative costs for administering MDDPs.
(q) The Secretary is authorized to prescribe such forms as it deems necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section.

restricted by being prohibited from operating a vehicle not equipped with an
ignition interlock device, unless the vehicle is equipped with a functioning
ignition interlock device.  Any person whose driving privilege is so restricted
shall notify any person intending to rent, lease, or loan a motor vehicle to
the restricted person of the driving restriction imposed upon him or her.

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

(D) any combination of the above offenses         committed at different instances;
then such person may not make application for a license     until after the expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most recent revocation.

A bona fide resident of a foreign jurisdiction     who is subject to the provisions of subparagraph 4 of this subsection (b) may make application for termination of the revocation after a period of 10 years from the effective date of the most recent revocation. However, if a person who has been granted a termination of revocation under this subparagraph 4.5 subsequently becomes a resident of this State, the revocation shall be reinstated and the person shall be subject to the provisions of subparagraph 4.
5. The person may not make application for a license     or permit if  the person is 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.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, all persons referred to

satisfied, after a review or investigation of such person, that
to grant the privilege of driving a motor vehicle on the highways will
not endanger the public safety or welfare.

available information, an estimated total of the daily rental rate,
including all applicable taxes, fees, and other charges, or an
estimated total rental charge, based on the return date of the vehicle

customer in accordance with an agreement with the licensed new car dealer
or vehicle manufacturer,  so long as the customer orally or in writing is

amount deductible from such insurance coverage in accordance with the terms
of the policy.

use transportation equipment and
facilities,
which are used to transport the customer, connecting consolidated
car rental facilities with other airport facilities.

subsection (f) of this
Section, the customer facility charge shall

indicated as
a separate charge
on the rental agreement and invoice.
Facility charges shall be immediately deposited into a trust account
for the benefit of the airport and
remitted at the direction of the airport, but

(4) Clearly and conspicuously display the charge in     any proprietary computer-assisted reservation or transaction directly between the rental car company and the customer, shown or referenced on the same page on the computer screen viewed by the customer as the displayed rental rate and in a print size not smaller than the print size of the rental rate.
(5) Clearly and conspicuously disclose and separately     identify the existence and amount of the charge on its rental agreement.

The licensee shall transfer ownership of the vehicle to the renter within 20 calendar days of the agreed-upon date of completion of the rental-purchase agreement.

For purposes of this subsection (l-5), "rental-purchase agreement" has the meaning set forth in Section 1 of the Rental-Purchase Agreement Act.

Sec. 6-305.2. Limited liability for damage.
(a) Damage to private
passenger vehicle.  A person who rents a motor vehicle to another may hold
the renter liable for
physical or mechanical damage to the rented motor vehicle that occurs during
the time the motor vehicle is under the rental agreement.
(b) Limits on liability due to theft for a vehicle having an MSRP of $50,000 or less.   The total liability of a renter who rents from another a motor vehicle that has an MSRP of $50,000 or less and that is stolen shall be the actual and reasonable costs incurred by the loss due to theft of the rental motor vehicle up to $5,000; provided, however, that if it is established that the renter or authorized driver failed to exercise ordinary care while in possession of the vehicle or that the renter or authorized driver committed or aided and abetted the commission of a theft, then the damages shall be the actual and reasonable costs of the rental vehicle up to its fair market value, as determined by the customary market for the sale of the vehicle.
Beginning
June
1, 2000,
and annually each June 1 thereafter, the maximum amount that may be recovered
from an authorized driver under this subsection (b) shall be increased by $500 above the maximum recovery
allowed immediately prior to June 1 of that year.
(b-5)   Limits on liability due to theft for a vehicle having an MSRP of more than $50,000. The total liability of a renter who rents from another a motor vehicle that has an MSRP of more than $50,000  and that is stolen shall be the actual and reasonable cost incurred by the loss due to theft of the rental motor vehicle up to $40,000; provided, however that if it is established that the renter or authorized driver failed to exercise ordinary care while in possession of the vehicle or that the renter or authorized driver committed or aided and abetted the commission of a theft, then the damages shall be the actual and reasonable costs of the rental vehicle up to its fair market value, as determined by the customary market for the sale of the vehicle.
The maximum recovery for a motor vehicle with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of more than $50,000 under this subsection (b-5) shall not exceed $40,000 on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly. On October 1, 2016, and for the next 3 years thereafter, the maximum amount that may be recovered from an authorized driver under this subsection (b-5) shall be increased by $2,500 above the prior year's maximum recovery. On October 1, 2020, and for each year thereafter, the maximum amount that may be recovered from an authorized driver under this subsection (b-5) shall be increased by $1,000 above the prior year's maximum recovery.
(b-10)   Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly and for 6 months after, a person who rents a motor vehicle to another shall provide notice to the renter of the motor vehicle of the changes reflected in this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly. The notice shall be posted in a conspicuous and unobscured place that is separate and apart from any other information.
(c) Multiple recoveries prohibited.  Any person who rents a motor
vehicle to another may not hold the renter liable for any amounts that the
rental company recovers from any other party.
(d) Repair estimates.  A person who rents a motor vehicle to another may
not collect or attempt to collect the amount described in subsection (b) or (b-5) unless
the rental company obtains an estimate from a repair company or an appraiser in
the business of providing such appraisals on the costs of repairing the motor
vehicle, makes a copy of the estimate available upon request to the renter who
may be liable under subsection (a), or the insurer of the renter, and submits a
copy of the estimate with any claim to collect the amount described in
subsection (b) or (b-5). In order to collect the amount described in subsection (b-5), a person renting a motor vehicle to another must also provide the renter's personal insurance company with reasonable notice and an opportunity to inspect damages.
(d-5)    In the event of loss due to theft of the rental motor vehicle with a MSRP more than $50,000, the rental company shall provide reasonable notice of the theft to the renter's personal insurance company.
(e) Duty to mitigate.  A claim against a renter resulting from damage or
loss to a rental vehicle must be reasonably and rationally related to the
actual loss incurred.  A rental company shall mitigate damages where possible
and shall not assert or collect any claim for physical damage which exceeds the
actual costs of the repair, including all discounts or price reductions.
(f) No rental company shall require a deposit or an advance charge
against
the credit card of a renter, in any form, for damages to a vehicle which is in
the renter's possession, custody, or control.  No rental company shall require
any payment for damage to the rental vehicle, upon the renter's return of the
vehicle in a
damaged condition, until after the cost of the damage to the vehicle and
liability therefor is agreed to between the rental company and renter or is
determined pursuant to law.
(g) If insurance coverage exists under the renter's personal insurance
policy and the coverage is confirmed during regular business hours, the renter
may require that the rental
company must submit any claims to the renter's personal insurance carrier as
the renter's agent.  The rental company shall not make any written or oral
representations that it will not present claims or negotiate with the renter's
insurance carrier.  For purposes of this Section, confirmation of coverage
includes telephone confirmation from insurance company representatives during
regular business hours.  After
confirmation of coverage, the amount of claim shall be resolved between the
insurance carrier and the rental company.

(c) Following the Secretary's receipt of a report described in subsection (b), the Secretary shall notify the person whose name appears on the report that the person's driver's license will be suspended at the end of a specified period unless the Secretary is presented with a notice from the private tolling authority stating that the fees, fines, charges, or penalties owed to the private tolling authority have been satisfied or that inclusion of that person's name on the report described in subsection (b) was in error.

as if no petition had been filed and the out-of-service order shall be
sustained.  If such petition is so denied, the person may submit another

shall
either be sustained or removed from the person's driving record.
(e) If any person petitions for a hearing relating to any CDL
disqualification based upon a conviction, as defined in this UCDLA, said
hearing shall not be conducted as a CDL hearing, but shall be conducted as
any other driver's license hearing, whether formal or informal, as
promulgated in the rules and regulations of the Secretary.
(f) Any evidence of alcohol or other drug consumption, for the
purposes of this UCDLA, shall be sufficient probable cause for requesting the
driver to submit to a chemical test or tests to determine the presence of
alcohol, other drug, or both in the person's system and the subsequent issuance
of an out-of-service order or a Sworn Report by a police officer.
(g) For the purposes of this UCDLA, a CDL "hearing" shall

Sec. 6-801. 
		Findings, Declaration of Policy and Purpose. 
		(a) The party
jurisdictions find that:
1.  In most instances, a motorist who is cited for a traffic violation
in a jurisdiction other than the motorist's home jurisdiction:
(i) Must post collateral or bond to secure appearance for trial at a later date; or
(ii) If unable to post collateral or bond, is taken into custody until
the collateral or bond is posted; or
(iii) Is taken directly to court for immediate disposition.
2.  A motorist receiving a traffic citation in the motorist's home jurisdiction
is permitted, except for certain violations, to accept the citation from the
officer at the scene of the violation, voluntarily deposit a valid driver's
license and immediately continue after promising or being instructed to
comply with the terms of the citation.
3. The purpose of the practices described in subsections 1 and 2 of paragraph
(a) is to ensure compliance with the terms of a traffic citation by the
motorist who, if permitted to continue after receiving the traffic citation,
could return to the motorist's home jurisdiction and disregard any duty
under the terms of the traffic citation.
4. The practice described in subsection 1 of paragraph (a) causes unnecessary
inconvenience and, at times, a hardship for the motorist who is unable at
the time to post collateral, furnish a bond, stand trial, or pay the fine,
and thus is compelled to remain in custody until some arrangement can be made.
5. The deposit of a driver's license as a bail bond, as described in subsection
2 of paragraph (a), is viewed with disfavor.
6. The practices described herein consume an undue amount of law enforcement time.
(b) It is the policy of the party jurisdictions to:
1. Seek compliance with the laws, ordinances, and administrative rules
and regulations relating to the operation of motor vehicles in each of
the jurisdictions.
2. Allow a motorist to accept a traffic citation for certain violations
and proceed without delay whether or not the motorist is a resident of the
jurisdiction in which the citation was issued.
3. Extend cooperation to its fullest extent among the jurisdictions for
obtaining compliance with the terms of a traffic citation issued in one
jurisdiction to a resident of another jurisdiction.
4. Maximize effective utilization of law enforcement personnel and assist
court systems in the efficient disposition of traffic violations.
(c) The purpose of the Compact is to:
1. Provide a means through which the party jurisdictions may participate
in a reciprocal program to effectuate the policies enumerated in paragraph
(b) above in a uniform and orderly manner.
2. Provide for the fair and impartial treatment of traffic violators operating
within party jurisdictions in recognition of the motorist's right of due
process and the sovereign status of a party jurisdiction.
