Sec. 6-103.1. New residents; out-of-state revocation.

(a) The Secretary of State may not issue a driver's license to a nonresident who becomes a resident of this State while the new resident's driving privileges are revoked, under terms similar to those provided in Section 1-176 of this Code, in another state; however, if the person has resided in this State for 10 or more consecutive years prior to submitting an application, that person may apply for licensure under Section 6-208 of this Code if:

(1) the laws of the revoking state would allow the person to apply for licensure in that state;

(2) the person qualifies to apply for licensure under Section 6-208;

(3) the out-of-state revocation is the only revocation of driving privileges for the person;

(4) the person has not had any driving offenses since the revocation, and the revocation is the only loss of the person's driving privileges in any jurisdiction; and

(5) the person complies with the requirements of Title 92, Sections 1001.430 and 1001.440 of the Illinois Administrative Code concerning the General Provisions for Reinstatement of Driving Privileges After Revocation and the Provisions for Alcohol and Drug Related Revocations, Suspensions, and Cancellations.

(b) The Secretary may issue restricted driving permits to new residents whose driving privileges are revoked in another state. These permits must be issued according to the restrictions, and for the purposes, stated in Sections 6-205 and 6-206 of this Code. The Secretary shall adopt rules for the issuance of these permits.

(c) A restricted driving permit issued under this Section is subject to cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in the same manner and for the same causes as a driver's license issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended, except that a conviction of one or more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic is sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving permit.
