Sponsor: Loraine T. Pace

             6      This act modifies the Motor Vehicle Code, the Public Safety Code, and the Water and
             7      Irrigation Code. This act provides for driver licensing requirements for driving a
             8      motorboat, including driver licensing sanctions for boating offenses. This act combines
             9      driving under the influence provisions with boating under the influence provisions. This act
             10      establishes certain moving boating violations and allows certain boat liveries to issue
             11      temporary boating permits. This act takes effect on July 1, 2001.
             12      This act affects sections of Utah Code Annotated 1953 as follows:

             271          (a) treatment as described under Subsection (4)(d), (5)(d), or (6)(b)(iii), then the court shall
             272      enter the reasons on the record; and
             273          (b) the following penalties, the court shall enter the reasons on the record:
             274          (i) the installation of an ignition interlock system as a condition of probation for the person
             275      in accordance with Section 41-6-44.7 ; or


             276          (ii) the imposition of home confinement through the use of electronic monitoring in
             277      accordance with Subsection (13).
             278          Section 4. Section 41-6-44.3 is amended to read:
             279           41-6-44.3. Standards for chemical breath analysis -- Evidence.
             280          (1) The commissioner of the Department of Public Safety shall establish standards for the
             281      administration and interpretation of chemical analysis of a person's breath, including standards of
             282      training.
             283          (2) In any action or proceeding in which it is material to prove that a person was operating
             284      or in actual physical control of a vehicle or motorboat while under the influence of alcohol or any
             285      drug or operating with a blood or breath alcohol content statutorily prohibited, documents offered
             286      as memoranda or records of acts, conditions, or events to prove that the analysis was made and the
             287      instrument used was accurate, according to standards established in Subsection (1), are admissible
             288      if:
             289          (a) the judge finds that they were made in the regular course of the investigation at or about
             290      the time of the act, condition, or event; and
             291          (b) the source of information from which made and the method and circumstances of their
             292      preparation indicate their trustworthiness.
             293          (3) If the judge finds that the standards established under Subsection (1) and the conditions
             294      of Subsection (2) have been met, there is a presumption that the test results are valid and further
             295      foundation for introduction of the evidence is unnecessary.
             296          Section 5. Section 41-6-44.5 is amended to read:
             297           41-6-44.5. Admissibility of chemical test results in actions for driving under the
             298      influence -- Weight of evidence.
             299          (1) (a) In any civil or criminal action or proceeding in which it is material to prove that a
             300      person was operating or in actual physical control of a vehicle or motorboat while under the
             301      influence of alcohol or drugs or with a blood or breath alcohol content statutorily prohibited, the
             302      results of a chemical test or tests as authorized in Section 41-6-44.10 are admissible as evidence.
             303          (b) In a criminal proceeding, noncompliance with Section 41-6-44.10 does not render the
             304      results of a chemical test inadmissible. Evidence of a defendant's blood or breath alcohol content
             305      or drug content is admissible except when prohibited by Rules of Evidence or the constitution.
             306          (2) If the chemical test was taken more than two hours after the alleged driving or actual


             307      physical control, the test result is admissible as evidence of the person's blood or breath alcohol
             308      level at the time of the alleged operating or actual physical control, but the trier of fact shall
             309      determine what weight is given to the result of the test.
             310          (3) This section does not prevent a court from receiving otherwise admissible evidence as
             311      to a defendant's blood or breath alcohol level or drug level at the time of the alleged operating or
             312      actual physical control.
             313          Section 6. Section 41-6-44.6 is amended to read:
             314           41-6-44.6. Definitions -- Driving with any measurable controlled substance in the
             315      body -- Penalties -- Arrest without warrant.

             317          (a) "Controlled substance" means any substance scheduled under Section 58-37-4 .
             318          (b) "Practitioner" has the same meaning as provided in Section 58-37-2 .
             319          (c) "Prescribe" has the same meaning as provided in Section 58-37-2 .
             320          (d) "Prescription" has the same meaning as provided in Section 58-37-2 .
             321          (2) In cases not amounting to a violation of Section 41-6-44 , a person may not operate or
             322      be in actual physical control of a motor vehicle or motorboat within this state if the person has any
             323      measurable controlled substance or metabolite of a controlled substance in the person's body.
             324          (3) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section that the controlled
             325      substance was involuntarily ingested by the accused or prescribed by a practitioner for use by the
             326      accused.
             327          (4) A person convicted of a violation of Subsection (2) is guilty of a class B misdemeanor.
             328          (5) A peace officer may, without a warrant, arrest a person for a violation of this section
             329      when the officer has probable cause to believe the violation has occurred, although not in the
             330      officer's presence, and if the officer has probable cause to believe that the violation was committed
             331      by the person.
             332          (6) The Driver License Division shall:
             333          (a) suspend, for 90 days, the driver license of a person convicted under Subsection (2);
             334          (b) revoke, for one year, the driver license of a person convicted of a second or subsequent
             335      offense under Subsection (2) if the violation is committed within a period of six years after the date
             336      of the prior violation; and
             337          (c) subtract from any suspension or revocation period the number of days for which a


             338      license was previously suspended under Section 53-3-223 or 53-3-231 , if the previous suspension
             339      was based on the same occurrence upon which the record of conviction is based.
             340          (7) If a person fails to complete all court ordered screening and assessment, educational
             341      series, and substance abuse treatment, or fails to pay all fines and fees, including fees for restitution
             342      and treatment costs, the court shall notify the Driver License Division of a failure to comply. Upon
             343      receiving the notification, the division shall suspend the person's driving privilege in accordance
             344      with Subsections 53-3-221 (2) and (3).
             345          Section 7. Section 41-6-44.7 is amended to read:

             348          (1) As used in this section:
             349          (a) "Commissioner" means the commissioner of the Department of Public Safety.
             350          (b) "Ignition interlock system" or "system" means a constant monitoring device or any
             351      similar device certified by the commissioner that prevents a motor vehicle from being started
             352      without first determining the driver's breath alcohol concentration.
             353          (c) "Probation provider" means the supervisor and monitor of the ignition interlock system
             354      required as a condition of probation or as otherwise ordered by the court who contracts with the
             355      court in accordance with Subsections 41-6-44 (14)(b) and (c).
             356          (2) (a) In addition to any other penalties imposed under Section 41-6-44 , and in addition
             357      to any requirements imposed as a condition of probation, the court may require that any person
             358      who is convicted of violating Section 41-6-44 and who is granted probation may not operate a
             359      motor vehicle during the period of probation unless that motor vehicle is equipped with a
             360      functioning, certified ignition interlock system installed and calibrated so that the motor vehicle
             361      will not start if the operator's blood alcohol concentration exceeds a level ordered by the court.
             362          (b) If a person convicted of violating Section 41-6-44 was under the age of 21 when the
             363      violation occurred, the court shall order the installation of the ignition interlock system as a
             364      condition of probation.
             365          (c) (i) If a person is convicted of a violation of Section 41-6-44 within six years of a prior
             366      conviction of that section, the court shall order the installation of the ignition interlock system, at
             367      the person's expense, for all motor vehicles registered to that person and all motor vehicles
             368      operated by that person for three years from the date of conviction.


             369          (ii) The division shall post the ignition interlock restriction on the electronic record
             370      available to law enforcement.
             371          (d) This section does not apply to a person convicted of a violation of Section 41-6-44
             372      whose violation involves the operation of a motorboat and not a vehicle.
             373          (3) Except as provided in Subsection (2)(c), if the court imposes the use of an ignition
             374      interlock system as a condition of probation, the court shall:
             375          (a) stipulate on the record the requirement for and the period of the use of an ignition
             376      interlock system;
             377          (b) order that an ignition interlock system be installed on each motor vehicle owned or
             378      operated by the probationer, at the probationer's expense;

             390          (c) For failure to comply under Subsection (4)(a) or upon receiving the notification under
             391      Subsection (4)(b), the court shall order the Driver License Division to suspend the probationer's
             392      driving privileges for the remaining period during which the compliance was imposed.
             393          (d) Cause for failure to comply means any reason the court finds sufficiently justifiable to
             394      excuse the probationer's failure to comply with the court's order.
             395          (5) (a) If use of an ignition interlock system is required under this section, the division may
             396      not issue, reinstate, or renew the driver license of that person unless that requirement is coded on
             397      the person's driver license.
             398          (b) (i) If the division receives a notice that a person with a valid driver license that does
             399      not require a driver license withdrawal is required to use an ignition interlock system, the division


             400      shall notify the person that he has ten calendar days to apply to the division for an ignition
             401      interlock system requirement coded on the license.
             402          (ii) The division shall suspend the driver license of the person after the ten-day period until

             404          (6) (a) Any probationer required to install an ignition interlock system shall have the
             405      system monitored by the manufacturer or dealer of the system for proper use and accuracy at least
             406      semiannually and more frequently as the court may order.
             407          (b) (i) A report of the monitoring shall be issued by the manufacturer or dealer to the court
             408      or the person's probation provider.
             409          (ii) The report shall be issued within 14 days following each monitoring.
             410          (7) (a) If an ignition interlock system is ordered installed, the probationer shall pay the

             423          (b) The fee shall be deposited with the department as a dedicated credit for the support
             424      costs incurred for indigent individuals under Subsection (7)(d).
             425          (c) Failure to pay the fees required under this section shall, unless excused, constitute
             426      sufficient basis for a finding by the court at a hearing that the probationer has failed to comply with
             427      the terms of probation.
             428          (9) (a) If a probationer is required in the course and scope of employment to operate a
             429      motor vehicle owned by the probationer's employer, the probationer may operate that motor
             430      vehicle in the course and scope of employment without installation of an ignition interlock system


             431      only if the employer has been notified that the employee is restricted and the employee has proof
             432      of the notification in his possession while operating the employer's motor vehicle.
             433          (b) (i) To the extent that an employer-owned motor vehicle is made available to a

             436      and who is restricted to the operation of a motor vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock system
             437      shall notify the employer and obtain consent in writing from the employer to install a system in the
             438      employer-owned motor vehicle.
             439          (c) A motor vehicle owned by a business entity that is all or partly owned or controlled by
             440      a probationer subject to this section is not a motor vehicle owned by the employer and does not
             441      qualify for an exemption under this Subsection (9).
             442          (10) Upon conviction for violation of this section, the court shall notify the Driver License
             443      Division to immediately suspend the probationer's license to operate a motor vehicle for the
             444      remainder of the period of probation.
             445          (11) (a) It is a class B misdemeanor for a person to:
             446          (i) circumvent or tamper with the operation of an ignition interlock system;
             447          (ii) knowingly furnish a motor vehicle without an ignition interlock system to someone
             448      who is not authorized to drive a motor vehicle unless the motor vehicle is equipped with an
             449      ignition interlock system that is in working order;
             450          (iii) rent, lease, or borrow a motor vehicle without an ignition interlock system if a driving
             451      restriction is imposed under this section;
             452          (iv) request another person to blow into an ignition interlock system, if the person is
             453      required to have a system and the person requests or solicits another to blow into the system to
             454      start the motor vehicle in order to circumvent the system;
             455          (v) blow into an ignition interlock system or start a motor vehicle equipped with an
             456      ignition interlock system for the purpose of providing an operable motor vehicle to another person
             457      required to have a system; and
             458          (vi) advertise for sale, offer for sale, sell, or lease an ignition interlock system unless the
             459      system has been certified by the commissioner and the manufacturer of the system has affixed a
             460      warning label, as approved by the commissioner on the system, stating that the tampering,
             461      circumventing, or other misuse of the system is a class B misdemeanor.


             462          (b) This Subsection (11) does not apply if the starting of a motor vehicle, or the request
             463      to start a motor vehicle, equipped with an ignition interlock system is done for the purpose of
             464      safety or mechanical repair of the system or the motor vehicle and the person subject to the court
             465      order does not drive the motor vehicle.
             466          (12) (a) In accordance with Title 63, Chapter 46a, Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act,
             467      the commissioner shall make rules setting standards for the certification of ignition interlock
             468      systems.
             469          (b) The standards shall require that the system:
             470          (i) not impede the safe operation of the motor vehicle;
             471          (ii) have features that make circumventing difficult and that do not interfere with the
             472      normal use of the motor vehicle;
             473          (iii) require a deep lung breath sample as a measure of breath alcohol concentration;
             474          (iv) prevent the motor vehicle from being started if the driver's breath alcohol
             475      concentration exceeds an ordered level;
             476          (v) work accurately and reliably in an unsupervised environment;
             477          (vi) resist tampering and give evidence if tampering is attempted;
             478          (vii) operate reliably over the range of motor vehicle environments; and
             479          (viii) be manufactured by a party who will provide liability insurance.
             480          (c) The commissioner may adopt in whole or in part, the guidelines, rules, studies, or
             481      independent laboratory tests relied upon in certification of ignition interlock systems by other
             482      states.
             483          (d) A list of certified systems shall be published by the commissioner and the cost of
             484      certification shall be borne by the manufacturers or dealers of ignition interlock systems seeking
             485      to sell, offer for sale, or lease the systems.
             486          (e) In accordance with Section 63-38-3.2 , the commissioner may establish an annual dollar
             487      assessment against the manufacturers of ignition interlock systems distributed in the state for the
             488      costs incurred in certifying. The assessment shall be apportioned among the manufacturers on a
             489      fair and reasonable basis.
             490          (13) There shall be no liability on the part of, and no cause of action of any nature shall
             491      arise against, the state or its employees in connection with the installation, use, operation,
             492      maintenance, or supervision of an interlock ignition system as required under this section.

             497      as well as by prosecutors authorized elsewhere in this code to prosecute these alleged violations:
             498          (1) alleged class A misdemeanor violations of Section 41-6-44 ; and
             499          (2) alleged violations of Section 53-3-227 , which consist of the person operating a vehicle
             500      or motorboat while the person's driving privilege is suspended or revoked for a violation of Section
             501      41-6-44 , a local ordinance which complies with the requirements of Section 41-6-43 , Section
             502      41-6-44.10 , Section 76-5-207 , or a criminal prohibition that the person was charged with violating
             503      as a result of a plea bargain after having been originally charged with violating one or more of
             504      those sections or ordinances.
             505          Section 9. Section 41-6-44.10 is amended to read:
             506           41-6-44.10. Implied consent to chemical tests for alcohol or drug -- Number of tests
             507      -- Refusal -- Warning, report -- Hearing, revocation of license -- Appeal -- Person incapable
             508      of refusal -- Results of test available -- Who may give test -- Evidence.
             509          (1) (a) A person operating a motor vehicle or motorboat in this state is considered to have
             510      given his consent to a chemical test or tests of his breath, blood, or urine for the purpose of
             511      determining whether he was operating or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle or motorboat
             512      while having a blood or breath alcohol content statutorily prohibited under Section 41-6-44 ,
             513      53-3-231 , or 53-3-232 , while under the influence of alcohol, any drug, or combination of alcohol
             514      and any drug under Section 41-6-44 , or while having any measurable controlled substance or
             515      metabolite of a controlled substance in the person's body in violation of Section 41-6-44.6 , if the
             516      test is or tests are administered at the direction of a peace officer having grounds to believe that
             517      person to have been operating or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle or motorboat while
             518      having a blood or breath alcohol content statutorily prohibited under Section 41-6-44 , 53-3-231 ,
             519      or 53-3-232 , or while under the influence of alcohol, any drug, or combination of alcohol and any
             520      drug under Section 41-6-44 , or while having any measurable controlled substance or metabolite
             521      of a controlled substance in the person's body in violation of Section 41-6-44.6 .
             522          (b) (i) The peace officer determines which of the tests are administered and how many of
             523      them are administered.


             524          (ii) If an officer requests more than one test, refusal by a person to take one or more
             525      requested tests, even though he does submit to any other requested test or tests, is a refusal under
             526      this section.
             527          (c) (i) A person who has been requested under this section to submit to a chemical test or
             528      tests of his breath, blood, or urine, may not select the test or tests to be administered.
             529          (ii) The failure or inability of a peace officer to arrange for any specific chemical test is
             530      not a defense to taking a test requested by a peace officer, and it is not a defense in any criminal,
             531      civil, or administrative proceeding resulting from a person's refusal to submit to the requested test
             532      or tests.
             533          (2) (a) If the person has been placed under arrest, has then been requested by a peace
             534      officer to submit to any one or more of the chemical tests under Subsection (1), and refuses to
             535      submit to any chemical test requested, the person shall be warned by the peace officer requesting
             536      the test or tests that a refusal to submit to the test or tests can result in revocation of the person's
             537      license to operate a motor vehicle.
             538          (b) Following the warning under Subsection (2)(a), if the person does not immediately
             539      request that the chemical test or tests as offered by a peace officer be administered a peace officer
             540      shall serve on the person, on behalf of the Driver License Division, immediate notice of the Driver
             541      License Division's intention to revoke the person's privilege or license to operate a motor vehicle.
