Section 1040

Section 1040.70  Problem

Driver Pointer System

a)         Before issuing or renewing a license for every non-CDL

applicant, the Department shall make a request through the Problem Driver

Pointer System (PDPS) and the Commercial Driver License Information System

(CDLIS) to determine the applicant's eligibility.  When a probable match is a

result of an inquiry search, the system points the inquiring licensing

jurisdiction (State of Inquiry

(SOI)) to the licensing jurisdiction that

recorded the adverse action against the driver in question (State of Record (SOR)).

b)         Before

issuing a commercial driver's license (CDL), the Department shall make a driver

history record request through both PDPS and CDLIS for driving records from

every state in which the applicant has been licensed in the last 10 years.  The

Secretary shall perform the record checks no earlier than 24 hours prior to

issuance if the license is to be issued to a driver who does not currently

possess a valid CDL from the State of Illinois and no earlier than 10 days

prior to issuance for all other drivers.  When a probable match is a result of

an inquiry search, the system points the SOI to the SOR.

c)         If the applicant has been denied issuance of an Illinois

license, certain information shall be required from the other state and/or

applicant, and, upon review of the information, a determination of the applicant's

eligibility for licensing in the State of Illinois will be made.

d)         The Department will receive a daily report that will identify

selected applicants issued an Illinois license to determine if the new

applicant is eligible to retain his/her Illinois license and/or privilege.  The

Department shall then verify the validity of the applicant's driving status by

contacting the SOR and/or the

National Driver Register (NDR)

State of Illinois will be made.

d)         The Department will receive a daily report that will identify

selected applicants issued an Illinois license to determine if the new

applicant is eligible to retain his/her Illinois license and/or privilege.  The

Department shall then verify the validity of the applicant's driving status by

contacting the SOR and/or the

National Driver Register (NDR).

e)         If it is determined from the review that the applicant is not

eligible for an Illinois license due to the withdrawal of his/her driving

privileges by another state, the Department shall cancel the driving privileges

pursuant to IVC Section 6-201(a)(5).

f)         If an applicant has falsified information on an application

for a driver's license, the applicant shall be suspended pursuant to IVC Section

6-206(a)(9) for 12 months if it is the first offense.  If it is the second

offense or if the driving record contains an open or pending revocation,

driving privileges shall be revoked pursuant to IVC Section 6-206(a)(9).

g)         After cancellation, full driving privileges shall not be

restored until after restoration in the other state and a clearance letter or

verification from that state is received and processed by the Department.

h)         If a person's driving privileges have been suspended, his/her

driving privileges shall be restored at the termination of the suspension and

upon acceptance of the required reinstatement fee as provided for in IVC Section

6-118.  A person whose driving privileges have been revoked, is eligible to be

considered for reinstatement of driving privileges after the successful

completion of all necessary requirements of the Department pursuant to IVC Section

2-110.

i)          Upon receipt of a request from the driver licensing authority

of another state for the driver history record of a person applying for a CDL

who is currently or previously licensed by Illinois, the Department shall

provide the information to the requesting state within 30 days.
