Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Any
			 competent medical specialist, commissioned police officer, state's attorney,
			 member of the judiciary, authorized Secretary of State employee or member of
			 the judiciary may submit information to the Department relative to the physical
			 condition of a person, including suspected chronic alcoholism or habitual use
			 of narcotics or dangerous drugs, if that condition interferes with the person's
			 ability to operate a motor vehicle safely (see IVC Sections 6-900 through 911).
			 Upon receipt of a written request citing good cause, the Department shall
			 require a driver to submit to driver's license re-testing. All written requests
			 shall be confidential and signed by the source unless sent electronically, and
			 the Secretary of State shall not release the information without a court
			 order.
b) The Department shall
			 notify the driver of the obligation to appear within five days on a choice of
			 three given dates at a designated driver services facility nearest in location
			 to the city or town of residence that is recorded on the driver's most recent
			 license renewal. There will be a 10-day grace period after the third given date
			 before the Department will cancel the driver's license or permit. If the driver
			 notifies the Department that he/she will be unable to appear on any of the
			 three designated dates but prior to the final day of the 10-day grace period
			 and provides a statement on official letterhead, signed by a competent medical
			 specialist stating that, due to an existing medical condition, the driver is or
			 will be unable to appear on any of the three designated dates, the Department
			 shall issue three more dates on which the driver may appear for re-testing.
			 There will also be a 10-day grace period after the last date given for
			 appearance prior to the Department canceling the driver's license or permit. If
			 the driver notifies the Department that he/she will not be able to appear
			 during any of the second set of dates, but prior to the final day of the 10-day
			 grace period, and provides a statement on letterhead signed by a competent
			 medical specialist that states, due to an existing medical condition, the
			 driver is or will be unable to appear during any of the second set of dates,
			 the Department shall notify the driver of a final set of three dates on which
			 the driver may appear. Once the 10-day grace period expires, the Department
			 will cancel the driver's driving privileges. The driver may not request
			 additional dates to appear for re-testing.
c) Cited drivers shall be tested on the
			 specific sections of the driver's license test indicated in the written request
			 for re-testing received from the Department. If no reference to a specific
			 section of the driver's license test was made by a competent medical
			 specialist, commissioned police officer, state's attorney, member of the
			 judiciary, or authorized Secretary of State employee, the Department shall
			 administer the cited driver the complete driver's license test.
d) Drivers cited for any portion of the test
			 shall receive only one opportunity to pass the test. Failure to pass any
			 required portion of the test shall result in the cancellation of the person's
			 driver's license in accordance with IVC Section 6-201. Failure of the driver
			 cited to appear on any one of the three alternative dates indicated on the
			 notice, or during a 10-day grace period that follows the last date, will result
			 in the cancellation of the driver's license. A cited driver who passes all
			 administered sections of the driver's license test shall be deemed to be in
			 compliance with the Department's request, and shall be allowed to retain a
			 valid driver's license.
e) A cited
			 driver required to take the road exam who is involved in an at-fault motor
			 vehicle crash during the road exam is required to submit a medical report,
			 completed after the date of the crash, to the Secretary, which shall be
			 submitted to the Board for review. The person's driver's license shall remain
			 cancelled unless and until the Secretary receives a recommendation from the
			 Chairperson of the Board that, in its professional opinion, the driver is
			 medically fit to safely operate a motor vehicle. The Board may refer the driver
			 to a driver rehabilitation specialist for assessment and may require the person
			 to complete any rehabilitation or training or use of adaptive devices
			 recommended by the rehabilitation specialist.
f) Driver's license tests shall be
			 administered to the cited driver at no fee.
g) In the event of application error, two
			 requests shall be made of the licensee to return to a Driver Services Facility
			 to obtain a corrected license. If the licensee complies, a corrected driver's
			 license shall be issued without a fee. If the licensee fails to comply, he/she
			 shall be cited for re-testing. Failure to appear for re-testing or failure to
			 pass the test shall result in cancellation of the driver's license.
h) If a facility errs in not giving a certain
			 section of the driver's license test and the licensee has not complied with two
			 written requests to return to a Driver Services Facility for re-testing, the
			 driver will be cited for the section of the test previously omitted. If
			 appearance is made and the cited driver passes the administered section of the
			 driver's license test, he/she shall retain his/her driver's license. If the
			 licensee fails to appear or fails the test, the driver's license shall be
			 canceled.
