    DUI

    • A lifetime alcohol-restricted status will result from a conviction of negligent homicide or a felony DUI.
    • The alcohol-restricted status begins on the effective date of revocation or suspension for DUI, alcohol-related reckless driving, impaired driving, homicide, per se arrest, refusal to submit to a chemical test, driving with alcohol in the body while on an alcohol-restricted status, or driving without an ignition interlock device installed in the vehicle.
    • The alcohol-restricted status remains in effect for a two, three, five, or ten-year period or lifetime from the effective date of the original suspension or revocation action.

    Ignition Interlock Restricted Driver

    • An ignition interlock-restricted driver will have their driving privilege suspended.
    • The suspension can be reinstated by installing an ignition interlock device (IID) in the vehicle and paying the required reinstatement fee.
    • If the IID is removed from the vehicle before the alcohol-restricted period ends, the driving privilege will be re-suspended.
    • The driver may be cited for violating the interlock-restricted driver (IRD) law if they drive a vehicle without an IID installed.

    IID Restriction Periods

    • First DUI conviction: 18 months (or three years if under 21 years old)
    • Second or subsequent DUI conviction: three years
    • Felony DUI: six years
    • Negligent homicide: ten years
    • In Utah, driving a vehicle implies consent to a chemical test of breath, blood, urine, or oral fluids to determine alcohol or drug content.
    • Refusal to submit to a chemical test can result in a driver license revocation for 18 months for the first offense and 36 months for the second or subsequent offenses.
