In Girard v. White, 356 Ill. App. 3d 11, 826 N.E.2d 517, 292 Ill. Dec. 376 (Ill. App. Ct. 2005), the Appellate Court of Illinois found that the Driver's License Compact "if permitted by law" exception referred to whether a driver's license was permitted under Illinois law. Further, it held: We do not read section 6-704 [of the Driver's License Compact] in such a way that its application trumps all other provisions of the Code in which the Secretary's power is limited. . . . We cannot adopt an interpretation which circumvents the Illinois public policy to prohibit repeat DUI offenders from obtaining driving privileges. Section 6-704(2) specifically states that a new resident with a revoked license may make an application if permitted by law, and in Girard's case, his application is not permitted by law. Id., 826 N.E.2d at 525-26.
