Utah DUI Laws That Apply in Beaver County

Beaver County DUI arrests follow Utah state law. Utah has the strictest DUI limit in the United States. Under Utah Code Section 41-6a-502, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .05 or higher. This limit took effect in 2019 and applies in every Utah county, including Beaver County.

Utah also enforces a metabolite DUI law under Utah Code Section 41-6a-517. This law makes it illegal to drive with any measurable controlled substance in your body, even if you show no signs of impairment. This applies to prescription drugs and marijuana as well. A person can be arrested for DUI in Beaver County without having a BAC above any limit if a controlled substance metabolite is detected in a blood or urine test.

First-offense DUI in Utah carries a minimum $700 fine, mandatory jail time or home confinement, and an ignition interlock device requirement. Implied consent under Utah Code Section 41-6a-520 means that any driver on Utah roads, including Beaver County roads, has already agreed to chemical testing when stopped on suspicion of DUI. Refusing a test triggers a license revocation of 18 months for a first refusal.

DUI is a strict liability offense in Utah. This means the prosecution does not need to prove you intended to drive impaired. If your BAC is at or above the legal limit, the offense is complete. This standard applies to all DUI arrests made in Beaver County. Learn more about Utah DUI law at utah-dui.com.

A felony DUI conviction triggers a 6-year IID requirement. These penalties apply to Beaver County DUI convictions the same as anywhere in Utah.

The Utah Driver License Division at dld.utah.gov/dui maintains the state DUI tracking system.

Access Beaver County DUI Records Under GRAMA

Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, known as GRAMA, governs how you can request public records in Beaver County. The statute is found at Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2.

For DUI court records specifically, GRAMA requests go to the District Court Clerk rather than the County Clerk.
