Utah DUI Laws in Juab County
All Utah DUI laws apply in full force in Juab County. The BAC limit under Utah Code section 41-6a-502 is .05, the lowest legal threshold in the United States. Drivers on I-15 passing through Juab County from states with a .08 limit are subject to Utah's stricter standard from the moment they cross the state line.
Utah Code section 41-6a-517, the metabolite DUI law, makes it illegal to drive with any detectable controlled substance in the system. This is a strict liability offense. Under the metabolite statute, impairment does not need to be proven. The presence of the substance is sufficient for a charge. Juab County law enforcement applies this statute the same way every other county in Utah does.
Implied consent under Utah Code section 41-6a-520 applies statewide. Every driver on Utah roads, including I-15 through Juab County, is deemed to have consented to chemical testing by operating a vehicle. Refusal does not prevent prosecution and adds a separate license suspension.
Utah shares DUI records with all other states and Canadian provinces. A Juab County conviction follows the driver regardless of where they live.
License Penalties and IID Requirements in Juab County
A DUI arrest in Juab County triggers two separate proceedings. The criminal case is handled by the 6th District Court. The license action is handled by the Utah Driver License Division. Each process moves forward independently.
Under Utah Code section 41-6a-505, a first DUI conviction requires a minimum $700 fine, jail time or home confinement, and an ignition interlock device for 18 months. Drivers under 21 at the time of the first offense face a 3-year IID requirement. A second conviction brings a 3-year IID. A felony DUI triggers 6 years of IID. Auto homicide while impaired requires the IID for 10 years. Out-of-state drivers convicted in Juab County face these same penalties.
A license hearing request must be filed within 10 days of the DUI arrest. If the request is made on time, the DLD schedules the hearing within 29 days. Missing the deadline means the suspension takes effect automatically. IID providers approved by the state are listed at dld.utah.gov/iid. The Utah Highway Safety Office has additional information on DUI enforcement and prevention in Utah.
Requesting Juab County DUI Records via GRAMA

For Juab County DUI records, GRAMA requests go to the Juab County Sheriff in Nephi or to the Juab County Clerk at 160 N Main St, Nephi, UT 84648.
A GRAMA request should describe the record clearly. Include the full name of the individual, the date or approximate date of the arrest, and the type of document you want.

Booking records and arrest logs kept by the Juab County Sheriff are generally public records accessible under GRAMA.
