14        privilege to drive any motor vehicle shall  be  suspended
15        as  set  forth  in  the notice that was mailed under this
16        Section. If an affidavit is received  subsequent  to  the

33        appearing therefor, rescind, continue, change, or  extend
34        the  order of suspension.  If the Secretary of State does
 
                            -9-              LRB9208234ARsbam
 1        not  rescind  the   order,   the   Secretary   may   upon
 2        application,   to   relieve   undue   hardship,  issue  a
 3        restricted  driving  permit  granting  the  privilege  of
 4        driving  a  motor  vehicle   between   the   petitioner's
 5        residence  and petitioner's place of employment or within
 6        the scope of his employment related duties, or  to  allow
 7        transportation  for the petitioner, or a household member
 8        of the petitioner's family, to receive necessary  medical
 9        care   and  if  the  professional  evaluation  indicates,
10        provide   transportation   for   alcohol   remedial    or
11        rehabilitative  activity, or for the petitioner to attend
12        classes, as  a  student,  in  an  accredited  educational
13        institution;  if  the  petitioner  is able to demonstrate
14        that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
15        available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
16        safety or welfare. In each case the Secretary may issue a
17        restricted   driving   permit   for   a   period   deemed
18        appropriate, except that all permits shall expire  within
19        one year from the date of issuance.  A restricted driving
20        permit  issued  under  this  Section  shall be subject to
21        cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the Secretary
22        of State in like manner and for like cause as a  driver's
23        license issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked,
24        or  suspended;  except that a conviction upon one or more
25        offenses  against  laws  or  ordinances  regulating   the
26        movement  of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
27        the  revocation,  suspension,  or   cancellation   of   a
28        restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as
29        a  condition  to  the  issuance  of  a restricted driving
30        permit,  require  the  applicant  to  participate  in   a
31        designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The
32        Secretary  of  State is authorized to cancel a restricted
33        driving permit if the permit holder does not successfully
34        complete the program.
