Text

(Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 104-169 ) Sec. 6-207. Secretary of State may require reexamination or reissuance of a license. (a) The Secretary of State, having good cause to believe that a licensed driver or person holding a permit or applying for a license or license renewal is incompetent or otherwise not qualified to hold a license or permit, may upon written notice of at least 5 days to the person require the person to submit to an examination as prescribed by the Secretary. Refusal or neglect of the person to submit an alcohol, drug, or intoxicating compound evaluation or submit to or failure to successfully complete the examination is grounds for suspension of the person's license or permit under Section 6-206 of this Act or cancellation of his license or permit under Section 6-201 of this Act. (b) The Secretary of State, having issued a driver's license or permit in error, may upon written notice of at least 5 days to the person, require the person to appear at a Driver Services facility to have the license or permit error corrected and a new license or permit issued. Refusal or neglect of the person to appear is grounds for cancellation of the person's license or permit under Section 6-201 of this Act. (c) The Secretary of State, having issued a driver's license or permit to a person who subsequently becomes ineligible to retain that license or permit as currently issued, may, upon written notice of at least 5 days to the person, require the person to appear at a Driver Services facility to have the license or permit corrected and a new license or permit issued. (d) The Secretary of State, having good cause to believe that a driver's license or permit was issued based on invalid, fictitious, or fraudulent documents, may upon written notice of at least 5 days require the person to appear at a Driver Services facility to present valid documents for verification of identity. Refusal or neglect of the person to appear shall result in cancellation of the person's license or permit. (e) Under 49 C.F.R. 383.73, if the Secretary of State receives credible information that a CLP or CDL was issued and fraud was committed relating to the issuance of the CLP or CDL, the Secretary shall require the CLP or CDL holder to re-submit to all testing required for the issuance of the CLP or CDL (written, pre-trip, skills, and road exams). Upon written notification by the Secretary, the holder shall have 5 days to submit to re-examination. Failure to appear or successfully complete the examination shall result in the cancellation of the CLP or CDL under Section 6-201 of this Act.
