Tail Light Obstruction Amendments

Summary

The bill makes it illegal to operate a vehicle on Utah highways if a hitch‑mounted cargo carrier, tray, or basket hides a required tail light from 500 feet behind the vehicle. Drivers can still use such carriers if they add auxiliary red lighting and red reflectors that meet Department of Public Safety standards. Violations are treated as infractions with fines up to $100 for a first offense and $200 for repeat offenses within three years.
