    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

    Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by 
changing Section 6-521 as follows:
 
    (625 ILCS 5/6-521)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-521)
    Sec. 6-521. Rulemaking Authority. 
    (a) The Secretary of State, using the authority to license 
motor vehicle operators under this Code, may adopt such rules 
and regulations as may be necessary to establish standards, 
policies and procedures for the licensing and sanctioning of 
commercial motor vehicle drivers in order to meet the 
requirements of the Commercial Motor Vehicle Act of 1986 
(CMVSA); subsequent federal rulemaking under 49 C.F.R. Part 
383 or Part 1572; and administrative and policy decisions of 
the U.S. Secretary of Transportation and the Federal Motor 
Carrier Safety Administration. The Secretary may, as provided 
in the CMVSA, establish stricter requirements for the 
licensing of commercial motor vehicle drivers than those 
established by the federal government.
    (b) By January 1, 1994, the Secretary of State shall 
establish rules and regulations for the issuance of a 
restricted commercial driver's license for farm-related 
service industries consistent with federal guidelines. The 
restricted license shall be available for a seasonal period or 
periods not to exceed a total of 210 180 days in any 12-month 
12 month period.
    (c) (Blank).
    (d) By July 1, 1995, the Secretary of State shall 
establish rules and regulations for the issuance and 
cancellation of a School Bus Driver's Permit. The permit shall 
be required for the operation of a school bus as provided in 
subsection (c), a non-restricted CDL with passenger 
endorsement, or a properly classified driver's license. The 
permit will establish that the school bus driver has met all 
the requirements of the application and screening process 
established by Section 6-106.1 of this Code.
