Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that applicants for school bus driver permits and commercial driver's licenses must not have been convicted of (i) aggravated domestic battery, or (ii) specified offenses under the Liquor Control Act of 1934 within the last 20 years before the date of the application (rather than at any point in the applicant's past). Provides that, regardless of whether an exemption for employment-related transportation applies, every person required to install and maintain an ignition interlock device shall not be eligible for reinstatement until the person installs an ignition interlock device and maintains the ignition interlock device for 5 years. Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides that a subsection concerning required proof of financial responsibility does not apply to a person who, at the time of the offense, was operating a motor vehicle registered in a state other than Illinois. Makes other changes. Effective immediately."
