             294          (2) (a) In addition to any other penalties imposed under Section 41-6-44 , and in addition
             295      to any requirements imposed as a condition of probation, the court may require that any person
             296      who is convicted of violating Section 41-6-44 and who is granted probation may not operate a
             297      motor vehicle during the period of probation unless that motor vehicle is equipped with a
             298      functioning, certified ignition interlock system installed and calibrated so that the motor vehicle
             299      will not start if the operator's blood alcohol concentration exceeds a level ordered by the court.

             334      division may not issue, reinstate, or renew the driver license of that person unless that requirement
             335      is coded on the person's driver license.


             336          (b) (i) If the division receives a notice that a person with a valid driver license that does
             337      not require a driver license withdrawal is required to use an ignition interlock system, the division

             363      costs incurred for indigent individuals under Subsection (7)(d).
             364          (c) Failure to pay the fees required under this section shall, unless excused, constitute
             365      sufficient basis for a finding by the court at a hearing that the probationer has failed to comply with
             366      the terms of probation.


             367          (9) (a) If a probationer is required in the course and scope of employment to operate a
             368      motor vehicle owned by the probationer's employer, the probationer may operate that motor
             369      vehicle in the course and scope of employment without installation of an ignition interlock system
             370      only if the employer has been notified that the employee is restricted and the employee has proof
             371      of the notification in his possession while operating the employer's motor vehicle.
             372          (b) (i) To the extent that an employer-owned motor vehicle is made available to a

             381          (10) Upon conviction for violation of this section, the court shall notify the Driver License
             382      Division to immediately suspend the probationer's license to operate a motor vehicle for the
             383      remainder of the period of probation.

             396      required to have a system; and
             397          (vi) advertise for sale, offer for sale, sell, or lease an ignition interlock system unless the


             398      system has been certified by the commissioner and the manufacturer of the system has affixed a
             399      warning label, as approved by the commissioner on the system, stating that the tampering,
             400      circumventing, or other misuse of the system is a class B misdemeanor.
             401          (b) This Subsection (11) does not apply if the starting of a motor vehicle, or the request
             402      to start a motor vehicle, equipped with an ignition interlock system is done for the purpose of
             403      safety or mechanical repair of the system or the motor vehicle and the person subject to the court
             404      order does not drive the motor vehicle.
             405          (12) (a) In accordance with Title 63, Chapter 46a, Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act,
             406      the commissioner shall make rules setting standards for the certification of ignition interlock
             407      systems.
             408          (b) The standards shall require that the system:
             409          (i) not impede the safe operation of the motor vehicle;
             410          (ii) have features that make circumventing difficult and that do not interfere with the
             411      normal use of the motor vehicle;
             412          (iii) require a deep lung breath sample as a measure of breath alcohol concentration;

             420      independent laboratory tests relied upon in certification of ignition interlock systems by other
             421      states.
             422          (d) A list of certified systems shall be published by the commissioner and the cost of
             423      certification shall be borne by the manufacturers or dealers of ignition interlock systems seeking
             424      to sell, offer for sale, or lease the systems.
             425          (e) In accordance with Section 63-38-3.2 , the commissioner may establish an annual dollar
             426      assessment against the manufacturers of ignition interlock systems distributed in the state for the
             427      costs incurred in certifying. The assessment shall be apportioned among the manufacturers on a
             428      fair and reasonable basis.


             429          (13) There shall be no liability on the part of, and no cause of action of any nature shall
             430      arise against, the state or its employees in connection with the installation, use, operation,
             431      maintenance, or supervision of an interlock ignition system as required under this section.
             432          Section 4. Section 41-6-44.10 is amended to read:
             433           41-6-44.10. Implied consent to chemical tests for alcohol or drug -- Number of tests
             434      -- Refusal -- Warning, report -- Hearing, revocation of license -- Appeal -- Person incapable
             435      of refusal -- Results of test available -- Who may give test -- Evidence.
             436          (1) (a) A person operating a motor vehicle in this state is considered to have given his
             437      consent to a chemical test or tests of his breath, blood, or urine for the purpose of determining
             438      whether he was operating or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while having a blood or
             439      breath alcohol content statutorily prohibited under Section 41-6-44 , 53-3-231 , or 53-3-232 , while
             440      under the influence of alcohol, any drug, or combination of alcohol and any drug under Section
             441      41-6-44 , or while having any measurable controlled substance or metabolite of a controlled
             442      substance in the person's body in violation of Section 41-6-44.6 , if the test is or tests are
             443      administered at the direction of a peace officer having grounds to believe that person to have been
             444      operating or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while having a blood or breath alcohol
             445      content statutorily prohibited under Section 41-6-44 , 53-3-231 , or 53-3-232 , or while under the
             446      influence of alcohol, any drug, or combination of alcohol and any drug under Section 41-6-44 , or
             447      while having any measurable controlled substance or metabolite of a controlled substance in the
             448      person's body in violation of Section 41-6-44.6 .
             449          (b) (i) The peace officer determines which of the tests are administered and how many of
             450      them are administered.
             451          (ii) If an officer requests more than one test, refusal by a person to take one or more
             452      requested tests, even though he does submit to any other requested test or tests, is a refusal under
             453      this section.
             454          (c) (i) A person who has been requested under this section to submit to a chemical test or
             455      tests of his breath, blood, or urine, may not select the test or tests to be administered.
             456          (ii) The failure or inability of a peace officer to arrange for any specific chemical test is
             457      not a defense to taking a test requested by a peace officer, and it is not a defense in any criminal,
             458      civil, or administrative proceeding resulting from a person's refusal to submit to the requested test
             459      or tests.


             460          (2) (a) If the person has been placed under arrest, has then been requested by a peace
             461      officer to submit to any one or more of the chemical tests under Subsection (1), and refuses to
             462      submit to any chemical test requested, the person shall be warned by the peace officer requesting
             463      the test or tests that a refusal to submit to the test or tests can result in revocation of the person's
             464      license to operate a motor vehicle.
             465          (b) Following the warning under Subsection (2)(a), if the person does not immediately
             466      request that the chemical test or tests as offered by a peace officer be administered a peace officer
             467      shall serve on the person, on behalf of the Driver License Division, immediate notice of the Driver
             468      License Division's intention to revoke the person's privilege or license to operate a motor vehicle.
             469      When the officer serves the immediate notice on behalf of the Driver License Division, he shall:
             470          (i) take the Utah license certificate or permit, if any, of the operator;
             471          (ii) issue a temporary license effective for only 29 days; and
             472          (iii) supply to the operator, on a form approved by the Driver License Division, basic
             473      information regarding how to obtain a hearing before the Driver License Division.
             474          (c) A citation issued by a peace officer may, if approved as to form by the Driver License
             475      Division, serve also as the temporary license.
             476          (d) As a matter of procedure, the peace officer shall submit a signed report, within ten
             477      calendar days after the date of the arrest, that he had grounds to believe the arrested person had
             478      been operating or was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while having a blood or breath
             479      alcohol content statutorily prohibited under Section 41-6-44 , 53-3-231 , or 53-3-232 , or while under
             480      the influence of alcohol, any drug, or combination of alcohol and any drug under Section 41-6-44 ,
             481      or while having any measurable controlled substance or metabolite of a controlled substance in the
             482      person's body in violation of Section 41-6-44.6 , and that the person had refused to submit to a
             483      chemical test or tests under Subsection (1).
             484          (e) (i) A person who has been notified of the Driver License Division's intention to revoke

             491      his privilege to operate a motor vehicle in the state is revoked beginning on the 30th day after the
             492      date of arrest for a period of:
             493          (A) one year unless Subsection (2)(e)(iv)(B) applies; or
             494          (B) 18 months if the person has had a previous license sanction after July 1, 1993, under
             495      this section, Section 41-6-44.6 , 53-3-223 , 53-3-231 , 53-3-232 , or a conviction after July 1, 1993,
             496      under Section 41-6-44 .
             497          (f) If a hearing is requested by the person, the hearing shall be conducted by the Driver
             498      License Division in the county in which the offense occurred, unless the division and the person
             499      both agree that the hearing may be held in some other county.
             500          (g) The hearing shall be documented and shall cover the issues of:
             501          (i) whether a peace officer had reasonable grounds to believe that a person was operating
             502      a motor vehicle in violation of Section 41-6-44 , 41-6-44.6 , or 53-3-231 ; and
             503          (ii) whether the person refused to submit to the test.
             504          (h) (i) In connection with the hearing, the division or its authorized agent:
             505          (A) may administer oaths and may issue subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses and the

             509      accordance with the rates established in Section 21-5-4 .
             510          (i) If after a hearing, the Driver License Division determines that the person was requested
             511      to submit to a chemical test or tests and refused to submit to the test or tests, or if the person fails
             512      to appear before the Driver License Division as required in the notice, the Driver License Division
             513      shall revoke his license or permit to operate a motor vehicle in Utah beginning on the date the
             514      hearing is held for a period of:
             515          (i) (A) one year unless Subsection (2)(i)(i)(B) applies; or
             516          (B) 18 months if the person has had a previous license sanction after July 1, 1993, under
             517      this section, Section 41-6-44.6 , 53-3-223 , 53-3-231 , 53-3-232 , or a conviction after July 1, 1993,
             518      under Section 41-6-44 .
             519          (ii) The Driver License Division shall also assess against the person, in addition to any fee
             520      imposed under Subsection 53-3-205 (14), a fee under Section 53-3-105 , which shall be paid before
             521      the person's driving privilege is reinstated, to cover administrative costs.


             522          (iii) The fee shall be cancelled if the person obtains an unappealed court decision
             523      following a proceeding allowed under this Subsection (2) that the revocation was improper.
             524          (j) (i) Any person whose license has been revoked by the Driver License Division under

             526          (ii) Judicial review of an informal adjudicative proceeding is a trial. Venue is in the
             527      district court in the county in which the offense occurred.
             528          (3) Any person who is dead, unconscious, or in any other condition rendering him
             529      incapable of refusal to submit to any chemical test or tests is considered to not have withdrawn the
             530      consent provided for in Subsection (1), and the test or tests may be administered whether the
             531      person has been arrested or not.
             532          (4) Upon the request of the person who was tested, the results of the test or tests shall be
             533      made available to him.
             534          (5) (a) Only a physician, registered nurse, practical nurse, or person authorized under
             535      Section 26-1-30 , acting at the request of a peace officer, may withdraw blood to determine the
             536      alcoholic or drug content. This limitation does not apply to taking a urine or breath specimen.
             537          (b) Any physician, registered nurse, practical nurse, or person authorized under Section
             538      26-1-30 who, at the direction of a peace officer, draws a sample of blood from any person whom
             539      a peace officer has reason to believe is driving in violation of this chapter, or hospital or medical
             540      facility at which the sample is drawn, is immune from any civil or criminal liability arising from
             541      drawing the sample, if the test is administered according to standard medical practice.
             542          (6) (a) The person to be tested may, at his own expense, have a physician of his own
             543      choice administer a chemical test in addition to the test or tests administered at the direction of a
             544      peace officer.
             545          (b) The failure or inability to obtain the additional test does not affect admissibility of the
             546      results of the test or tests taken at the direction of a peace officer, or preclude or delay the test or
             547      tests to be taken at the direction of a peace officer.
             548          (c) The additional test shall be subsequent to the test or tests administered at the direction
             549      of a peace officer.
             550          (7) For the purpose of determining whether to submit to a chemical test or tests, the person
