Fatal Motor Vehicle Accident Amendments

Summary

The bill updates Utah’s implied‑consent rules so a peace officer can order a breath, blood, urine or oral‑fluid test if they have reasonable suspicion a driver was under the influence. It also requires officers investigating a fatal crash to discuss the facts with a senior officer before deciding not to seek a warrant for a test. The changes clarify warning, reporting and refusal procedures for all drivers.
