changing Sections 2-118, 6-205, 6-206, and 6-208 as follows:
(625 ILCS 5/2-118) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 2-118)
Sec. 2-118. Hearings.
(a) Upon the suspension, revocation or denial of the
issuance of a license, permit, registration or certificate of
title under this Code of any person the Secretary of State
shall immediately notify such person in writing and upon his
written request shall, within 20 days after receipt thereof,
set a date for a formal hearing to commence within 90 calendar
days from the date of the written request for all requests
related to a suspension, revocation, or the denial of the
issuance of a license, permit, registration, or certificate of
title occurring after July 1, 2002, in the County of Sangamon,
the County of Jefferson, or the County of Cook, as such person
may specify, unless both parties agree that such hearing may
be held in some other county. If permitted by administrative
rule, a person may request an informal hearing at a Secretary
of State driver services facility subject to availability of
an informal hearing officer. The Secretary shall adopt

HB2658 - 2 - LRB104 08651 LNS 18705 b
administrative rules regarding the conduct of informal
hearings. The Secretary may require the payment of a fee of not
more than $50 for the filing of any petition, motion, or
request for hearing conducted pursuant to this Section. These
fees must be deposited into the Secretary of State DUI
Administration Fund, a special fund created in the State
treasury, and, subject to appropriation and as directed by the
Secretary of State, shall be used for operation of the
Department of Administrative Hearings of the Office of the
Secretary of State and for no other purpose. The Secretary
shall establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,
and conditions relating to these fees.
(b) At any time after the suspension, revocation or denial
of a license, permit, registration or certificate of title of
any person as hereinbefore referred to, the Secretary of
State, in his or her discretion and without the necessity of a
request by such person, may hold such a hearing, upon not less
than 10 days' notice in writing, in the Counties of Sangamon,
Jefferson, or Cook or in any other county agreed to by the
parties.
(c) Upon any such hearing, the Secretary of State, or his
authorized agent may administer oaths and issue subpoenas for
the attendance of witnesses and the production of relevant
books and records and may require an examination of such
person. Upon any such hearing, the Secretary of State shall
either rescind or, good cause appearing therefor, continue,

HB2658 - 3 - LRB104 08651 LNS 18705 b
change or extend the Order of Revocation or Suspension, or
upon petition therefore and subject to the provisions of this
Code, issue a restricted driving permit or reinstate the
license or permit of such person.
(d) All hearings and hearing procedures shall comply with
requirements of the Constitution, so that no person is
deprived of due process of law nor denied equal protection of
the laws. All hearings shall be held before the Secretary of
State or before such persons as may be designated by the
Secretary of State and appropriate records of such hearings
shall be kept. Where a transcript of the hearing is taken, the
person requesting the hearing shall have the opportunity to
order a copy thereof at his own expense. The Secretary of State
shall enter an order upon any hearing conducted under this
Section, related to a suspension, revocation, or the denial of
the issuance of a license, permit, registration, or
certificate of title occurring after July 1, 2002, within 90
days of its conclusion and shall immediately notify the person
in writing of his or her action.
(d-5) Any hearing over which the Secretary of State has
jurisdiction because of a person's implied consent to testing
of the person's blood, breath, other bodily substance, or
urine for the presence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating
compounds may be conducted upon a review of the official
police reports. Either party, however, may subpoena the
arresting officer and any other law enforcement officer who

HB2658 - 4 - LRB104 08651 LNS 18705 b
was involved in the petitioner's arrest or processing after
arrest, as well as any other person whose testimony may be
probative to the issues at the hearing. The failure of a law
enforcement officer to answer the subpoena shall be considered
grounds for a continuance if, in the hearing officer's
discretion, the continuance is appropriate. The failure of the
arresting officer to answer a subpoena shall not, in and of
itself, be considered grounds for the rescission of an implied
consent suspension. Rather, the hearing shall proceed on the
basis of the other evidence available, and the hearing officer
shall assign this evidence whatever probative value is deemed
appropriate. The decision whether to rescind shall be based
upon the totality of the evidence.
(e) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
revoking or denying any license, permit, registration, or
certificate of title shall be subject to judicial review in
the Circuit Court of Sangamon County, in the Circuit Court of
Jefferson County, or in the Circuit Court of Cook County, and
the provisions of the Administrative Review Law, and all
amendments and modifications thereto, and the rules adopted
pursuant thereto, 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 hereunder.

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,

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

(iii) a suspension pursuant to Section 6-203.1;
(iv) a single disposition of court supervision of

HB2658 - 14 - LRB104 08651 LNS 18705 b
violating Section 11-501 or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense; or
(v) a single conviction of violating Section
11-503, a similar provision of a local ordinance or a
similar out-of-state offense if the original charge

provision of a local ordinance or a similar
out-of-state offense;
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 stated recited as an element
of the offense, or a similar provision of a law of another
state or military installation;
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

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
if the person is operating 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, or a similar offense committed on a military
installation, 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

HB2658 - 16 - LRB104 08651 LNS 18705 b
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.

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 or a similar
offense committed on a military installation, 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.

HB2658 - 17 - LRB104 08651 LNS 18705 b
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
or a similar offense committed on a military installation, 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 or a similar
offense committed on a military installation, 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 6 days per week, 12 hours per day, within a
200-mile radius of the person's residence for any legal
purpose 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

HB2658 - 18 - LRB104 08651 LNS 18705 b
times as the Secretary of State deems appropriate, by
additional periods of not more than 24 months each.

ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or a similar
offense committed on a military installation, 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 stated recited as an
element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or
a similar offense committed on a military installation, or 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 a

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.

suspended due to a conviction for a violation of

of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense or a
similar offense committed on a military installation, 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.

HB2658 - 39 - LRB104 08651 LNS 18705 b

vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock
device to a person operating 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 or a similar
offense committed on a military installation, 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

HB2658 - 40 - LRB104 08651 LNS 18705 b
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

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)
