Bill > HB0436

This bill enhances Utah's data collection and reporting requirements for driving under the influence (DUI) incidents by establishing more comprehensive reporting mechanisms. Specifically, the bill requires law enforcement agencies to collect detailed data about DUI crashes and arrests, including information such as whether drivers or other individuals were injured or killed, property damage, alcohol or drug test results, and in some cases, the name of the establishment that provided alcohol to an impaired driver. The Department of Public Safety's Criminal Investigations and Technical Services Division will be responsible for collecting this data from law enforcement agencies, starting January 1, 2026, and will then provide the information to the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice. The Commission will use this data to prepare an annual report that evaluates various aspects of DUI-related processes, including law enforcement practices, court adjudication, sanctions, driver's license control, and alcohol education and treatment programs. The bill also updates the state's public safety portal to include this new DUI data collection requirement, ensuring that the information is systematically collected, stored, and accessible to criminal justice agencies. The legislation aims to improve understanding of DUI incidents and potentially develop more effective strategies for prevention and intervention.
