8 (a) The Secretary of State upon issuing a drivers

10 cause appears to impose restrictions suitable to the
11 licensee's driving ability with respect to the type of, or
12 special mechanical control devices required on, a motor

14 restrictions applicable to the licensee as the Secretary of

19 restrictions upon the usual license or permit form.
20 (c) The Secretary of State may issue a probationary

22 suspended pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section or
23 subsections (a)(2), (a)(19) and (a)(20) of Section 6-206 of
24 this Code. The Secretary of State shall promulgate rules
25 pursuant to The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act,
26 setting forth the conditions and criteria for the issuance
27 and cancellation of probationary licenses.
28 (d) The Secretary of State may upon receiving
29 satisfactory evidence of any violation of the restrictions of
30 such license or permit suspend, revoke or cancel the same
31 without preliminary hearing, but the licensee or permittee
HB3065 Enrolled -2- LRB9206822DHmb
1 shall be entitled to a hearing as in the case of a suspension
2 or revocation.
3 (e) It is unlawful for any person to operate a motor
4 vehicle in any manner in violation of the restrictions
5 imposed on a restricted license or permit issued to him.
6 (f) Whenever the holder of a restricted driving permit

13 to the operation of a motor vehicle while under the
14 influence of intoxicating liquor or narcotic drugs;
15 3. Violation of Section 11-401 of this Act relating
16 to the offense of leaving the scene of a traffic accident
17 involving death or injury; or
18 4. Violation of Section 11-504 of this Act relating
19 to the offense of drag racing;
20 The police officer issuing the citation shall confiscate
21 the restricted driving permit and forward it, along with the

23 which the citation was issued.
24 (g) The Secretary of State may issue a special
25 restricted license for a period of 12 months to individuals
26 using vision aid arrangements other than standard eyeglasses
27 or contact lenses, allowing the operation of a motor vehicle
28 during nighttime hours. The Secretary of State shall adopt
29 rules defining the terms and conditions by which the
30 individual may obtain and renew this special restricted
31 license. At a minimum, all drivers must meet the following
32 requirements:
33 1. Possess a valid driver's license and have
34 operated a motor vehicle during daylight hours for a
HB3065 Enrolled -3- LRB9206822DHmb
1 period of 12 months using vision aid arrangements other
2 than standard eyeglasses or contact lenses.
3 2. Have a driving record that does not include any
4 traffic accidents that occurred during nighttime hours,
5 for which the driver has been found to be at fault,
6 during the 12 months before he or she applied for the
7 special restricted license.
8 3. Successfully complete a road test administered
9 during nighttime hours.
10 At a minimum, all drivers renewing this license must meet
11 the following requirements:
12 1. Successfully complete a road test administered
13 during nighttime hours.
14 2. Have a driving record that does not include any
15 traffic accidents that occurred during nighttime hours,
16 for which the driver has been found to be at fault,
17 during the 12 months before he or she applied for the
18 special restricted license.
19 (h) Any driver issued a special restricted license as
20 defined in subsection (g) whose privilege to drive during
21 nighttime hours has been suspended due to an accident
22 occurring during nighttime hours may request a hearing as
23 provided in Section 2-118 of this Code to contest that
24 suspension. If it is determined that the accident for which
25 the driver was at fault was not influenced by the driver's
26 use of vision aid arrangements other than standard eyeglasses
27 or contact lenses, the Secretary may reinstate that driver's
28 privilege to drive during nighttime hours.
