Bill > SB0208

This bill amends existing laws to strengthen the ability to investigate and penalize individuals who attempt to avoid required vehicle emissions inspections by providing a false address. Specifically, it allows the division (likely referring to the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles) to suspend or revoke a vehicle's registration if the owner is found to have used an improper address to evade an emissions inspection, and it also enables the State Tax Commission to impose a civil penalty of $1,000 and potentially revoke or suspend the registration for such violations, with provisions for retaining funds to cover investigation costs and transferring the remainder to the relevant county. The bill also clarifies that new registrations or renewals will not be issued if a civil penalty has been imposed for using a false address to avoid emissions inspections, unless the penalty is paid or the vehicle is no longer owned by the individual who incurred the penalty.
