Utah DUI Laws Applied in Davis County

Davis County DUI arrests and prosecutions follow Utah state law. The core statute is Utah Code Section 41-6a-502, which sets the DUI threshold at .05 BAC. Utah was the first state in the country to lower the limit to .05 in 2019. Every driver in Davis County, whether a resident or passing through, is subject to this standard.

The metabolite DUI law at Utah Code Section 41-6a-517 adds another ground for DUI charges in Davis County. This law prohibits driving with any measurable controlled substance in the body, even at levels that do not cause visible impairment. Prescription drugs and marijuana metabolites both count. A Davis County driver can be charged with DUI based solely on a blood or urine test result showing a controlled substance metabolite, even if driving behavior was normal.

Utah's implied consent law at Section 41-6a-520 applies to all Davis County drivers. Implied consent means that driving on any Utah road constitutes agreement to chemical testing when an officer has probable cause. Refusing chemical testing results in a license revocation of 18 months for a first refusal. Utah DUI is also a strict liability offense, meaning the prosecution only needs to prove the BAC level or metabolite presence. No proof of intent to drive impaired is required.

First-offense DUI penalties in Utah include a minimum $700 fine, mandatory jail time or home confinement, and an IID requirement. Details on mandatory sentencing are at utah-dui.com. These penalties apply to every Davis County DUI conviction just as they do elsewhere in Utah.

IID and License Penalties in Davis County

The DLD at dld.utah.gov/dui receives all DUI arrest reports within 5 workdays and begins the administrative license process. A driver who wants a hearing must request one within 10 days of the arrest. If no hearing is requested, the suspension begins automatically.

The IID requirement for a first DUI conviction in Davis County is 18 months. Drivers under 21 at the time of the offense face a 3-year IID period. Second or subsequent DUI convictions in Davis County result in a 3-year IID requirement. A felony DUI conviction triggers a 6-year IID requirement. The approved IID provider list is at dld.utah.gov/iid. Drivers must use a provider from this list to satisfy the court order.

Refusal to submit to chemical testing in Davis County results in an 18-month license revocation for a first refusal and 36 months for a subsequent refusal. These penalties are imposed by the DLD independent of any criminal court outcome. Repeat DUI offenders in Davis County may also be subject to the Utah 24/7 Sobriety Program, which requires twice-daily alcohol testing as a condition of release or probation.
