Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The Secretary of State shall not issue, or
			 shall deny, cancel, suspend or revoke, a driver training school license:
1) Unless the applicant has at least one
			 motor vehicle owned or leased in the name of the driver training school or
			 school owner indicated on the license, and registered by the Secretary of State
			 Vehicle Services Department, that has been safety-inspected and
			 insurance-certified as required pursuant to IVC Section 6-402(d) for use by the
			 school for driver training purposes and driving instruction.
2) Unless the applicant has at least one
			 person who is employed by or associated with the school and who is licensed or
			 qualified to be licensed by the Department as a driver training instructor for
			 that school.
3) Unless the physical
			 facilities meet the requirements of this Part.
4) Unless the applicant is of good moral
			 character as required pursuant to IVC Section 6-402(a). In making a
			 determination of good moral character, the Department is not limited to, but
			 may consider, the following:
A) Whether the
			 applicant has been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor. The Department shall
			 consider:
i) The relationship of any crime of
			 which the applicant has been convicted to the ability to operate a driver
			 training school;
ii) The length of
			 time that has elapsed since the applicant's last criminal conviction;
iii) Whether the applicant successfully
			 completed any sentence imposed with the convictions;
iv) Whether the applicant has multiple
			 convictions for felony or misdemeanor offenses.
B) If the person has been indicted, formally
			 charged or otherwise charged with a felony or a misdemeanor, the license shall
			 be either denied or cancelled.
i) If the
			 person whose commercial driver training school license has been denied or
			 cancelled under this Part is adjudicated "guilty" by the court systems, the
			 denial or cancellation previously entered on the person's record in accordance
			 with Section
			 1060.190(b)
			 shall stand. This action does not preclude further suspension and/or revocation
			 of the commercial driver training school license under another Section of this
			 Part or the IVC.
ii) If the person
			 whose commercial driver training school license has been denied or cancelled
			 under this Part is adjudicated "not guilty" by the court systems, the denial or
			 cancellation previously entered on the license in accordance with Section
			 1060.190(b)
			 shall be rescinded. This action does not preclude further suspension and/or
			 revocation of the commercial driver training school license under another
			 Section of this Part or the IVC.
iii) If the person whose commercial driver
			 training school license has been denied or cancelled under this Part is granted
			 a disposition of "court supervision" by the court systems, the denial or
			 cancellation previously entered on the license in accordance with Section
			 1060.190(b)
			 shall be rescinded. This action does not preclude further suspension and/or
			 revocation of the commercial driver training school license under another
			 Section of this Part or the IVC.
5) To any licensed school owner who, during
			 the course of any and all interaction with students:
A) engaged in activity that puts the student
			 in danger; or
B) engaged in
			 reckless behavior; or
C) failed to
			 maintain a professional relationship with students at all times.
