             537      grants from the housing funds.
             538          (4) In using housing funds under Subsection (2)(a), an agency may lend, grant, or
             539      contribute housing funds to a person, public body, housing authority, private entity or business,
             540      or nonprofit organization for use as provided in Subsection (2)(a).
             541          (5) An agency may:
             542          (a) issue bonds from time to time to finance a housing undertaking under this section,
             543      including the payment of principal and interest upon advances for surveys and plans or preliminary
             544      loans; and
             545          (b) issue refunding bonds for the payment or retirement of bonds under Subsection (5)(a)
             546      previously issued by the agency.
             547          (6) (a) If an agency fails to provide housing funds in accordance with the project area
             548      budget and, if applicable, the housing plan adopted under Subsection 17B-4-505 (2), the [trust] loan
             549      fund board may bring legal action to compel the agency to provide the housing funds.
             550          (b) In an action under Subsection (6)(a), the court:
             551          (i) shall award the [trust] loan fund board a reasonable attorney's fee, unless the court finds
             552      that the action was frivolous; and
             553          (ii) may not award the agency its attorney's fees, unless the court finds that the action was
             554      frivolous.


             555          Section 14. Section 23-20-1 is amended to read:
             556           23-20-1. Enforcement authority of conservation officers -- Seizure and disposition
             557      of property.
             558          (1) Conservation officers of the division shall enforce the provisions of this title with the
             559      same authority and following the same procedures as other law enforcement officers.
             560          (2) (a) Conservation officers shall seize any protected wildlife illegally taken or held.
             561          (b) (i) Upon determination of a defendant's guilt by the court, the protected wildlife shall
             562      be confiscated by the court and sold or otherwise disposed of by the division.
             563          (ii) Proceeds of the sales shall be deposited in the Wildlife Resources Account.
             564          (iii) Migratory wildfowl may not be sold, but must be given to a charitable institution or
             565      used for other charitable purposes.
             566          (3) Materials and devices used for the unlawful taking or possessing of protected wildlife
             567      shall be seized, and upon a finding by the court that they were used in the unlawful taking or
             568      possessing of protected wildlife, the materials and devices shall be subject to criminal or civil
             569      forfeiture under the procedures and substantive protections established in [the] Title 24, Chapter
             570      1, Utah Uniform Forfeiture Procedures Act[, Title 24, Chapter 1, of the Utah Code].
             571          (4) (a) Conservation officers may seize and impound a vehicle used for the unlawful taking
             572      or possessing of protected wildlife for any of the following purposes:
             573          (i) to provide for the safekeeping of the vehicle, if the owner or operator is arrested;
             574          (ii) to search the vehicle as provided in Subsection (2)(a) or as provided by a search
             575      warrant; or
             576          (iii) to inspect the vehicle for evidence that protected wildlife was unlawfully taken or
             577      possessed.
             578          (b) The division shall store any seized vehicle in a public or private garage, state impound
             579      lot, or other secured storage facility.
             580          (5) A seized vehicle shall be released to the owner no later than 30 days after the date the
             581      vehicle is seized, unless the vehicle was used for the unlawful taking or possessing of wildlife by
             582      a person who is charged with committing a felony under this title.
             583          (6) (a) Upon a finding by a court that the person who used the vehicle for the unlawful
             584      taking or possessing of wildlife is guilty of a felony under this title, the vehicle may be subject to
             585      criminal or civil forfeiture under the procedures and substantive protections established in [the]


             586      Title 24, Chapter 1, Utah Uniform Forfeiture Procedures Act[, Title 24, Chapter 1, of the Utah
             587      Code].
             588          (b) The owner of a seized vehicle is liable for the payment of any impound fee if he used
             589      the vehicle for the unlawful taking or possessing of wildlife and is found by a court to be guilty
             590      of a violation of this title.
             591          (c) The owner of a seized vehicle is not liable for the payment of any impound fee or, if
             592      the fees have been paid, is entitled to reimbursement of the fees paid, if:
             593          (i) no charges are filed or all charges are dropped which involve the use of the vehicle for
             594      the unlawful taking or possessing of wildlife;
             595          (ii) the person charged with using the vehicle for the unlawful taking or possessing of
             596      wildlife is found by a court to be not guilty; or
             597          (iii) the owner did not consent to a use of the vehicle which violates this chapter.
             598          Section 15. Section 24-1-1 is amended to read:
             599           24-1-1. Title.
             600          This chapter [shall be cited] is known as the "Utah Uniform Forfeiture Procedures Act."
             601          Section 16. Section 24-1-7 is amended to read:
             602           24-1-7. Hardship release of seized property.
             603          (1) An owner is entitled to the immediate release of seized property from the seizing
             604      agency pending the final determination of civil forfeiture if:
             605          (a) the owner has a possessory interest in the property;
             606          (b) continued possession by the agency or the state pending the final disposition of the
             607      forfeiture proceedings will cause substantial hardship to the owner, such as:
             608          (i) preventing the functioning of a legitimate business;
             609          (ii) preventing any individual from working;
             610          (iii) preventing any minor child or student from attending school;
             611          (iv) preventing or hindering any person from receiving necessary medical care;
             612          (v) hindering the care of an elderly or disabled dependent child or adult;
             613          (vi) preventing an owner from retaining counsel to provide a defense in the forfeiture
             614      proceeding; or
             615          (vii) leaving any individual homeless, or any other condition that the court determines
             616      causes a substantial hardship; and


             617          (c) the hardship from the continued possession by the agency of the seized property
             618      outweighs the risk that the property will be destroyed, damaged, lost, concealed, or transferred if
             619      it is returned to the owner during the pendency of the proceeding.
             620          (2) The right to appointed counsel under Section 24-1-9 applies throughout civil forfeiture
             621      proceedings, including an owner's motion for hardship release. An owner may file a motion for
             622      hardship release:
             623          [(i)] (a) in the court in which forfeiture proceedings have commenced; or
             624          [(ii)] (b) in any district court having jurisdiction over the property, if forfeiture proceedings
             625      have not yet commenced.
             626          (3) The court shall render a decision on a motion or complaint filed under subparagraph
             627      (2) not later than [10] ten days after the date of filing, unless the ten-day period is extended by the
             628      consent of the parties or by the court for good cause shown.
             629          (4) If the owner demonstrates substantial hardship pursuant to subparagraph (1), the court
             630      shall order the property immediately released to the owner pending completion of proceedings by
             631      the government to obtain forfeiture of the property. The court may place such conditions on
             632      release of the property as it finds are necessary and appropriate to preserve the availability of the
             633      property or its equivalent for forfeiture.
             634          (5) Subparagraph (1) shall not apply if the seized property is:
             635          (a) contraband;
             636          (b) currency or other monetary instrument or electronic funds, unless such property is used
             637      to pay for the costs of defending against the forfeiture proceeding or constitutes the assets of a
             638      legitimate business; or
             639          (c) likely to be used to commit additional illegal acts if returned to the owner.
             640          Section 17. Section 24-1-8 is amended to read:
             641           24-1-8. Criminal procedures.
             642          (1) In cases where an owner is criminally prosecuted for conduct giving rise to forfeiture,
             643      the prosecuting attorney may elect to forfeit the owner's interest in the property civilly or
             644      criminally, provided that no civil forfeiture judgment may be entered with respect to the property
             645      of a defendant who is acquitted of the offense on which the forfeiture claim is based.
             646          (2) If the prosecuting attorney elects to criminally forfeit the owner's interest in the
             647      property, the information or indictment must state that the owner's interest in the specifically


             648      described property is subject to criminal forfeiture and the basis for the forfeiture.
             649          (3) (a) Upon application of the prosecuting attorney, the court may enter restraining orders
             650      or injunctions, or take other reasonable action to preserve for forfeiture under this section any
             651      forfeitable property if, after notice to persons known, or discoverable after due diligence, to have
             652      an interest in the property and after affording them an opportunity for a hearing, the court
             653      determines that:
             654          (i) there is a substantial probability that the state will prevail on the issue of forfeiture and
             655      that failure to enter the order will result in the property being sold, transferred, destroyed or
             656      removed from the jurisdiction of the court or otherwise made unavailable for forfeiture; and
             657          (ii) the need to preserve the availability of the property or prevent its sale, transfer,
             658      destruction or removal through the entry of the requested order outweighs the hardship against any
             659      party against whom the order is to be entered.
             660          (b) A temporary restraining order may be entered ex parte upon application of the
             661      prosecuting attorney before or after an information or indictment has been filed with respect to the
             662      property, if the prosecuting attorney demonstrates that:
             663          (i) there is probable cause to believe that the property with respect to which the order is
             664      sought would, in the event of a conviction, be subject to forfeiture under this section; and
             665          (ii) provision of notice would jeopardize the availability of the property for forfeiture or
             666      would jeopardize an ongoing criminal investigation.
             667          (c) The temporary order expires not more than [10] ten days after entry unless extended
             668      for good cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered consents to an extension. An
             669      adversarial hearing concerning an order entered under this paragraph shall be held as soon as
             670      practicable and prior to the expiration of the temporary order.
             671          (d) The court is not bound by the Utah Rules of Evidence regarding evidence it may
             672      receive and consider at any hearing under this paragraph.
             673          (4) (a) Upon conviction by a jury of an owner for conduct giving rise to criminal forfeiture,
             674      the jury shall be instructed and asked to return a special verdict as to the extent of the property
             675      identified in the information or indictment, if any, that is forfeitable.
             676          (b) Whether property is forfeitable shall be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
             677          (5) Upon conviction of a person for violating any provision of state law subjecting an
             678      owner's property to forfeiture and upon the jury's special verdict that the property is forfeitable, the


             679      court shall enter a judgment and order the property forfeited to the state treasurer upon the terms
             680      stated by the court in its order. Following the entry of an order declaring property forfeited, the
             681      court may, upon application of the prosecuting attorney, enter appropriate restraining orders or
             682      injunctions, require the execution of satisfactory performance bonds, appoint receivers,
             683      conservators, appraisers, accountants, or trustees, or take any other action to protect the interest
             684      of the state in property ordered forfeited.
             685          (6) (a) After property is ordered forfeited under this section, the state treasurer shall direct
             686      the disposition of the property under Section 24-1-16 . Any property right or interest not
             687      exercisable by or transferable for value to the state expires and does not revert to the defendant.
             688      The defendant or any person acting in concert with or on behalf of the defendant is not eligible to
             689      purchase forfeited property at any sale held by the state treasurer unless approved by the judge.
             690          (b) The court may stay the sale or disposition of the property pending the conclusion of
             691      any appeal of the criminal case giving rise to the forfeiture if the defendant demonstrates that
             692      proceeding with the sale or disposition of the property may result in irreparable injury, harm or loss
             693      to him.
             694          (7) Except under Subparagraphs (3) or (10), a party claiming an interest in property subject
             695      to criminal forfeiture under this section:
             696          (a) may not intervene in a trial or appeal of a criminal case involving the forfeiture of
             697      property under this section; and
             698          (b) may not commence an action at law or equity against the state or the county concerning
             699      the validity of his alleged interests in the property subsequent to the filing of an indictment or an
             700      information alleging that the property is subject to forfeiture under this section.
             701          (8) The district court of the state which has jurisdiction of a case under this part may enter
             702      orders under this section without regard to the location of any property which may be subject to
             703      forfeiture under this section, or which has been ordered forfeited under this section.
             704          (9) To facilitate the identification or location of property declared forfeited and to facilitate
             705      the disposition of petitions for remission or mitigation of forfeiture, after the entry of an order
             706      declaring property forfeited to the state treasurer, the court, may upon application of the
             707      prosecuting attorney, order that the testimony of any witness relating to the property forfeited be
             708      taken by deposition, and that any book, paper, document, record, recording, or other material not
             709      privileged shall be produced as provided for depositions and discovery under the Utah Rules of


             710      Civil Procedure.
             711          (10) (a) Following the entry of an order of forfeiture under this section, the prosecuting
             712      attorney shall publish notice of the order's intent to dispose of the property as the court may direct.
             713      The prosecuting attorney shall also provide direct written notice to any person known to have an
             714      alleged interest in the property subject to the order of forfeiture.
             715          (b) Any person, other than the defendant, asserting a legal interest in property which has
             716      been ordered forfeited to the state treasurer under this section may, within 30 days of the final
             717      publication of notice or his receipt of written notice under subparagraph (a), whichever is earlier,
             718      petition the court for a hearing to adjudicate the validity of his alleged interest in the property. Any
             719      genuine issue of material fact, including issues of standing, is triable to a jury upon demand of any
             720      party.
             721          (c) The petition shall be in writing and signed by the petitioner under penalty of perjury.
             722      It shall set forth the nature and extent of the petitioner's right, title, or interest in the property, the
             723      time and circumstances of the petitioner's acquisition of the right, title, or interest in the property,
             724      and any additional facts supporting the petitioner's claim and the relief sought.
             725          (d) The trial or hearing on the petition shall be expedited to the extent practicable. The
             726      court may consolidate a trial or hearing on the petition and any petition filed by any other person
             727      under this section other than the defendant. The court shall permit the parties to conduct pretrial
             728      discovery pursuant to the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure.
             729          (e) At the trial or hearing, the petitioner may testify and present evidence and witnesses
             730      on his own behalf and cross-examine witnesses who appear at the hearing. The prosecuting
             731      attorney may present evidence and witnesses in rebuttal and in defense of the claim to the property
             732      and cross-examine witnesses who appear. In addition to testimony and evidence presented at the
             733      trial or hearing, the court may consider the relevant portion of the record of the criminal case which
             734      resulted in the order of forfeiture. Any trial or hearing shall be conducted pursuant to the Utah
             735      Rules of Evidence.
             736          (f) The court shall amend the order of forfeiture in accordance with its determination, if
             737      after the trial or hearing, the court or jury determines that the petitioner has established by a
             738      preponderance of the evidence that:
             739          (i) the petitioner has a legal right, title, or interest in the property, and the right, title, or
             740      interest renders the order of forfeiture invalid in whole or in part because the right, title, or interest


             741      was vested in the petitioner rather than the defendant or was superior to any right, title, or interest
             742      of the defendant at the time of the commission of the acts or conduct which gave rise to the
             743      forfeiture of the property under this section; or
             744          (ii) the petitioner acquired the right, title or interest in the property in a bona fide
             745      transaction for value and, at the time of such acquisition, the petitioner did not know that the
             746      property was subject to forfeiture.
             747          (g) Following the court's disposition of all petitions filed under this paragraph, or if no
             748      petitions are filed following the expiration of the period provided in subparagraph (b) for the filing
             749      of petitions, the state treasurer has clear title to property subject to the order of forfeiture and may
             750      warrant good title to any subsequent purchaser or transferee.
             751          Section 18. Section 24-1-10 is amended to read:
             752           24-1-10. Prejudgment and postjudgment interest.
             753          In any civil or criminal proceeding to forfeit currency or other negotiable instruments under
             754      this chapter, the court shall award a prevailing owner prejudgment and postjudgment interest on
             755      the currency or negotiable instruments at the legal rate of interest established by Section 15-1-1
             756      [of the Utah Code].
             757          Section 19. Section 24-1-15 is amended to read:
             758           24-1-15. Transfer and sharing procedures.
             759          (1) For purposes of [Section 24-1-15 ] this section, property is deemed to be "seized"
             760      whenever any agency takes possession of the property or exercises any degree of control over the
             761      property.
             762          (2) (a) [Transfer of Seized Property.] Seizing agencies or prosecuting attorneys authorized
             763      to bring civil or criminal forfeiture proceedings under this chapter shall not directly or indirectly
             764      transfer seized property to any federal agency or any governmental entity not created under and
             765      subject to state law unless the court enters an order, upon petition of the prosecuting attorney,
             766      authorizing the property to be transferred. The court may not enter an order authorizing a transfer
             767      unless:
             768          (i) the activity giving rise to the investigation or seizure is interstate in nature and
             769      sufficiently complex to justify such transfer;
             770          (ii) the seized property may only be forfeited under federal law; or
             771          (iii) pursuing forfeiture under state law would unduly burden prosecuting attorneys or state


             772      law enforcement agencies.
             773          (b) Notwithstanding Subparagraph (2)(a), the court may refuse to enter an order
             774      authorizing a transfer to the federal government if such transfer would circumvent the protections
             775      of the Utah Constitution or this chapter that would otherwise be available to the property owner.
             776          (c) Prior to granting any order to transfer pursuant to subparagraph (2)(a), the court must
             777      give any owner the right to be heard with regard to the transfer.
             778          (3) (a) [Sharing of Seized Property.] All property, money or other things of value received
             779      by an agency pursuant to federal law which authorizes the sharing or transfer of all or a portion of
             780      forfeited property or the proceeds of the sale of forfeited property to an agency shall be promptly
             781      transferred to the state treasurer and sold and deposited in the Uniform School Fund as provided
             782      under Section 24-1-16 .
             783          (b) Subject to subparagraph (3)(a), state agencies are encouraged to seek an equitable share
             784      of property forfeited by the federal government and to cooperate with federal law enforcement
             785      agencies in all cases in which such cooperation is in the interest of this state.
             786          (4) Any agency that violates subparagraph (2) or (3) is civilly liable to the state for three
             787      times the amount of the forfeiture diverted and for costs of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees. Any
             788      damages awarded to the state shall be paid to the Uniform School Fund. Any agent, including state
             789      law enforcement officers who are detached to, deputized or commissioned by, or working in
             790      conjunction with a federal agency, who knowingly transfers or otherwise trades seized property
             791      in violation of subparagraph (2)(a) or who receives property, money or other things of value under
             792      subparagraph (3)(a) and knowingly fails to transfer such property to the state treasurer is guilty of
             793      a class B misdemeanor.
             794          Section 20. Section 24-1-16 is amended to read:
             795           24-1-16. Disposition of proceeds from criminal or civil forfeiture.
             796          (1) When any property is civilly or criminally forfeited under this chapter by a finding of
             797      the court that no person is entitled to recover the property, the property shall be sold by the state
             798      treasurer, or destroyed if unfit for sale, and all revenue or proceeds therefrom shall be deposited
             799      in the Uniform School Fund after deducting the costs and expenses of:
             800          (a) maintaining and storing the forfeited property;
             801          (b) administering the forfeiture proceeding;
             802          (c) appointed counsel under Section 24-1-9 ; and


             803          [(c)] (d) payment of money to compensate victims of conduct giving rise to or related to
             804      the forfeiture, or of conduct which is part of the same scheme that led to the forfeiture under this
             805      chapter.
             806          (2) No property either seized or forfeited, whether civilly or criminally, nor any revenues
             807      or proceeds therefrom shall be paid to, appropriated for, or used for the benefit, directly or
             808      indirectly, of law enforcement officers, law enforcement agencies or agencies performing law
             809      enforcement functions.
             810          (3) No property either seized or forfeited, whether civilly or criminally, nor any revenue
             811      or proceeds therefrom shall be, directly or indirectly, paid to, appropriated for, or used for the
             812      benefit of persons acting as:
             813          (a) informants in any law enforcement function;
             814          (b) witnesses in any administrative or judicial forum; or
             815          (c) prosecutors in any state or federal actions.
             816          (4) The state treasurer shall maintain an accounting of all properties which are either
             817      civilly or criminally forfeited and subsequently sold and all proceeds therefrom, and the state
             818      auditor shall perform an annual audit of such proceeds and communicate the results of the audit
             819      to the state treasurer and to the legislature. All accounting and audit records generated under this

             908          (6) (a) The commissioner may by rule prohibit making contracts under Subsection (1) for

             911          (b) The commissioner may by rule place restrictions and limitations on and create special

             944      for insurers in the state where it is made, which trust fund or deposit:
             945          (I) shall be in an amount not less than $2,500,000 for the protection of all of the insurer's
             946      policyholders in the United States;
             947          (II) may consist of cash, securities, or investments of substantially the same character and
             948      quality as those which are "qualified assets" under Section 31A-17-201 ; and

             962          (7) A surplus lines broker may not, either knowingly or without reasonable investigation
             963      of the financial condition and general reputation of the insurer, place insurance under this section
             964      with financially unsound insurers or with insurers engaging in unfair practices, or with otherwise
             965      substandard insurers, unless the broker gives the applicant notice in writing of the known
             966      deficiencies of the insurer or the limitations on his investigation, and explains the need to place
             967      the business with that insurer. A copy of this notice shall be kept in the office of the broker for at
             968      least five years. To be financially sound, an insurer shall satisfy standards that are comparable to
             969      those applied under the laws of this state to authorized insurers. Insurers on the "doubtful or
             970      objectionable" list under Subsection (6)(d) and insurers not on the commissioner's "reliable" list
             971      under Subsection (6)(e) are presumed substandard.
             972          (8) A policy issued under this section shall include a description of the subject of the
             973      insurance and indicate the coverage, conditions, and term of the insurance, the premium charged
             974      and premium taxes to be collected from the policyholder, and the name and address of the
             975      policyholder and insurer. If the direct risk is assumed by more than one insurer, the policy shall
             976      state the names and addresses of all insurers and the portion of the entire direct risk each has
             977      assumed. All policies issued under the authority of this section shall have attached or affixed to
             978      the policy the following statement: "The insurer issuing this policy does not hold a certificate of
             979      authority to do business in this state and thus is not fully subject to regulation by the Utah
             980      insurance commissioner. This policy receives no protection from any of the guaranty associations
             981      created under Title 31A, Chapter 28."
             982          (9) Upon placing a new or renewal coverage under this section, the broker shall promptly
             983      deliver to the policyholder or his agent evidence of the insurance consisting either of the policy as
             984      issued by the insurer or, if the policy is not then available, a certificate, cover note, or other
             985      confirmation of insurance complying with Subsection (8).
             986          (10) If the commissioner finds it necessary to protect the interests of insureds and the
             987      public in this state, the commissioner may by rule subject policies issued under this section to as
             988      much of the regulation provided by this title as is required for comparable policies written by


             989      authorized foreign insurers.
             990          (11) (a) Each surplus lines transaction in this state shall be examined to determine whether
             991      it complies with:
             992          (i) the surplus lines tax levied under Chapter 3;
             993          (ii) the solicitation limitations of Subsection (3);
             994          (iii) the requirement of Subsection (3) that placement be through a surplus lines broker;
             995          (iv) placement limitations imposed under Subsections (6)(a), (b), and (c); and
             996          (v) the policy form requirements of Subsections (8) and (10).
             997          (b) The examination described in Subsection (11)(a) shall take place as soon as practicable
             998      after the transaction. The surplus lines broker shall submit to the examiner information necessary
             999      to conduct the examination within a period specified by rule.
             1000          (c) The examination described in Subsection (11)(a) may be conducted by the
             1001      commissioner or by an advisory organization created under Section 31A-15-111 and authorized
             1002      by the commissioner to conduct these examinations. The commissioner is not required to
             1003      authorize any additional advisory organizations to conduct examinations under this Subsection
             1004      (11)(c). The commissioner's authorization of one or more advisory organizations to act as
             1005      examiners under this Subsection (11)(c) shall be by rule. In addition, the authorization shall be
             1006      evidenced by a contract, on a form provided by the commissioner, between the authorized advisory
             1007      organization and the department.
             1008          (d) The person conducting the examination described in Subsection (11)(a) shall collect
             1009      a stamping fee of an amount not to exceed 1% of the policy premium payable in connection with
             1010      the transaction. Stamping fees collected by the commissioner shall be deposited in the General
             1011      Fund. The commissioner shall establish this fee by rule. Stamping fees collected by an advisory
             1012      organization are the property of the advisory organization to be used in paying the expenses of the
             1013      advisory organization. Liability for paying the stamping fee is as required under Subsection
             1014      31A-3-303 (1) for taxes imposed under Section 31A-3-301 . The commissioner shall adopt a rule
             1015      dealing with the payment of stamping fees. If stamping fees are not paid when due, the
             1016      commissioner or advisory organization may impose a penalty of 25% of the fee due, plus 1-1/2%
             1017      per month from the time of default until full payment of the fee. Fees relative to policies covering
             1018      risks located partially in this state shall be allocated in the same manner as under Subsection
             1019      31A-3-303 (4).


             1020          (e) The commissioner, representatives of the department, advisory organizations,
             1021      representatives and members of advisory organizations, authorized insurers, and surplus lines
             1022      insurers are not liable for damages on account of statements, comments, or recommendations made
             1023      in good faith in connection with their duties under this Subsection (11)(e) or under Section
             1024      31A-15-111 .
             1025          (f) Examinations conducted under this Subsection (11) and the documents and materials
             1026      related to the examinations are confidential.

             1102      Part 2, Search Warrants. However, seizure without process may be made when:

             1104      under an administrative inspection warrant;

             1126      place where the property is being held.
             1127          (5) Property taken or detained under this section is not repleviable but is considered in
             1128      custody of the law enforcement agency making the seizure subject only to the orders of the court
             1129      or the official having jurisdiction. When property is seized under this title, the appropriate person
             1130      or agency may:
             1131          (a) place the property under seal;
             1132          (b) remove the property to a place designated by it or the warrant under which it was
             1133      seized; or
             1134          (c) take custody of the property and remove it to an appropriate location for disposition

             1142      package used as a container for an alcoholic product, shall be disposed of as follows:
             1143          [(i)] (a) If the alcoholic product is unadulterated, pure, and free from crude, unrectified,


             1144      or impure form of ethylic alcohol, or any other deleterious substance or liquid, and is otherwise
             1145      in saleable condition, sold in accordance with Section 24-1-16 [of the Utah Uniform Forfeiture
             1146      Procedures Act].
             1147          [(ii)] (b) If the alcoholic product is impure, adulterated, or otherwise unfit for sale, it and
             1148      its package or container shall be destroyed by the department under competent supervision.

             1156      this state upon notice and service of process issued by any court having jurisdiction over the
             1157      property. However, seizure without notice and service of process may be made when:
             1158          (a) the seizure is incident to an arrest under a search warrant or an inspection under an
             1159      administrative inspection warrant;
             1160          (b) the property subject to seizure has been the subject of a prior judgment in favor of the

             1165      law enforcement agency making the seizure, subject only to the orders and decrees of the court or

             1168          (a) place the property under seal;
             1169          (b) remove the property to a place designated by the warrant under which it was seized;
             1170      or

             1174           41-6-44.10. Implied consent to chemical tests for alcohol or drug -- Number of tests


             1175      -- Refusal -- Warning, report -- Hearing, revocation of license -- Appeal -- Person incapable
             1176      of refusal -- Results of test available -- Who may give test -- Evidence.
             1177          (1) (a) A person operating a motor vehicle in this state is considered to have given his
             1178      consent to a chemical test or tests of his breath, blood, or urine for the purpose of determining
             1179      whether he was operating or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while having a blood or
             1180      breath alcohol content statutorily prohibited under Section 41-6-44 , 53-3-231 , or 53-3-232 , while
             1181      under the influence of alcohol, any drug, or combination of alcohol and any drug under Section
             1182      41-6-44 , or while having any measurable controlled substance or metabolite of a controlled
             1183      substance in the person's body in violation of Section 41-6-44.6 , if the test is or tests are
             1184      administered at the direction of a peace officer having grounds to believe that person to have been
             1185      operating or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while having a blood or breath alcohol
             1186      content statutorily prohibited under Section 41-6-44 , 53-3-231 , or 53-3-232 , or while under the

             1190          (b) (i) The peace officer determines which of the tests are administered and how many of
             1191      them are administered.
             1192          (ii) If an officer requests more than one test, refusal by a person to take one or more
             1193      requested tests, even though he does submit to any other requested test or tests, is a refusal under
             1194      this section.
             1195          (c) (i) A person who has been requested under this section to submit to a chemical test or
             1196      tests of his breath, blood, or urine, may not select the test or tests to be administered.
             1197          (ii) The failure or inability of a peace officer to arrange for any specific chemical test is
             1198      not a defense to taking a test requested by a peace officer, and it is not a defense in any criminal,
             1199      civil, or administrative proceeding resulting from a person's refusal to submit to the requested test
             1200      or tests.
             1201          (2) (a) If the person has been placed under arrest, has then been requested by a peace

             1204      the test or tests that a refusal to submit to the test or tests can result in revocation of the person's
             1205      license to operate a motor vehicle.


             1206          (b) Following the warning under Subsection (2)(a), if the person does not immediately
             1207      request that the chemical test or tests as offered by a peace officer be administered a peace officer
             1208      shall serve on the person, on behalf of the Driver License Division, immediate notice of the Driver
             1209      License Division's intention to revoke the person's privilege or license to operate a motor vehicle.

             1216      Division, serve also as the temporary license.
             1217          (d) As a matter of procedure, the peace officer shall submit a signed report, within ten
             1218      calendar days after the date of the arrest, that he had grounds to believe the arrested person had

             1221      the influence of alcohol, any drug, or combination of alcohol and any drug under Section 41-6-44 ,

             1239      License Division in the county in which the offense occurred, unless the division and the person
             1240      both agree that the hearing may be held in some other county.
             1241          (g) The hearing shall be documented and shall cover the issues of:
             1242          (i) whether a peace officer had reasonable grounds to believe that a person was operating
             1243      a motor vehicle in violation of Section 41-6-44 , 41-6-44.6 , or 53-3-231 ; and
             1244          (ii) whether the person refused to submit to the test.

             1252      to submit to a chemical test or tests and refused to submit to the test or tests, or if the person fails
             1253      to appear before the Driver License Division as required in the notice, the Driver License Division
             1254      shall revoke his license or permit to operate a motor vehicle in Utah beginning on the date the

             1263          (iii) The fee shall be cancelled if the person obtains an unappealed court decision
             1264      following a proceeding allowed under this Subsection (2) that the revocation was improper.
             1265          (j) (i) Any person whose license has been revoked by the Driver License Division under

             1267          (ii) Judicial review of an informal adjudicative proceeding is a trial. Venue is in the


             1268      district court in the county in which the offense occurred.
             1269          (3) Any person who is dead, unconscious, or in any other condition rendering him
             1270      incapable of refusal to submit to any chemical test or tests is considered to not have withdrawn the
             1271      consent provided for in Subsection (1), and the test or tests may be administered whether the

             1280      a peace officer has reason to believe is driving in violation of this chapter, or hospital or medical
             1281      facility at which the sample is drawn, is immune from any civil or criminal liability arising from
             1282      drawing the sample, if the test is administered according to standard medical practice.
             1283          (6) (a) The person to be tested may, at his own expense, have a physician of his own
             1284      choice administer a chemical test in addition to the test or tests administered at the direction of a
             1285      peace officer.
             1286          (b) The failure or inability to obtain the additional test does not affect admissibility of the
             1287      results of the test or tests taken at the direction of a peace officer, or preclude or delay the test or
             1288      tests to be taken at the direction of a peace officer.

             1718      patients, because of illness, excessive use of drugs or alcohol, or as a result of any mental or
             1719      physical condition, the board shall recommend that the director file a petition with the division,
             1720      and cause the petition to be served upon the naturopathic physician with a notice of hearing on the
             1721      sole issue of the capacity of the naturopathic physician to competently and [safety] safely engage

             1732      board, only upon a finding of reasonable cause to believe:

             1738      section is a ground for the division's immediate suspension of the naturopathic physician's license

             1740          (ii) The division may enter the order of suspension without further compliance with Title
             1741      63, Chapter 46b, Administrative Procedures Act, unless the division finds the failure to submit to
             1742      the examination ordered under this section was due to circumstances beyond the control of the
             1743      naturopathic physician and was not related directly to the illness or incapacity of the naturopathic
             1744      physician.
             1745          (5) (a) A naturopathic physician whose license is suspended under Subsection (2) or (3)

             2102      conspiracy, or a pattern of criminal activity, includes any person directly harmed by the defendant's
             2103      criminal conduct in the course of the scheme, conspiracy, or pattern.

             2113      injury to a victim; and
             2114          (v) the cost of necessary funeral and related services if the offense resulted in the death of
             2115      a victim.
             2116          (c) In determining the monetary sum and other conditions for court-ordered restitution, the
             2117      court shall consider the factors listed in Subsections (5)(a) and (b) and:
             2118          (i) the financial resources of the defendant and the burden that payment of restitution will
             2119      impose, with regard to the other obligations of the defendant;

             2121      conditions to be fixed by the court;
             2122          (iii) the rehabilitative effect on the defendant of the payment of restitution and the method
             2123      of payment; and
             2124          (iv) other circumstances which the court determines may make restitution inappropriate.
             2125          (d) The court may decline to make an order or may defer entering an order of restitution
             2126      if the court determines that the complication and prolongation of the sentencing process, as a result
             2127      of considering an order of restitution under this subsection, substantially outweighs the need to
             2128      provide restitution to the victim.
