Utah Substance Use and Mental Health Advisory(USAAV ) CouncilDUI CommitteeSeptember 4, 2018

Considerations for SentencingDUI Offenders and What Works* Sanctions should be applied to all DUI offenders, and treatment withaccountability should be applied when indicated, based on the results of aprofessional evaluation. Sentences should be tailored to individual DUI offenders based on anevaluation of offender characteristics and recidivism risk. Data on the effectiveness of the various DUI sanctions in the United States areinadequate and sometimes conflicting. Types of sanctions for which some evidence of effectiveness exists (often whencombined with other sanctions): Jail (short-term, e.g., 2 days)Driver License Suspension (Administrative and Court-ordered)Vehicle Actions (e.g., Ignition Interlock, Impound, Forfeiture)Screening, Assessment and Treatment for Alcohol Use DisorderIntensive Supervision ProbationDUI Courts (frequent interaction with Judge and compliance monitoring)Electronic Monitoring (e.g., SCRAM, Outreach Smartphone Monitoring)Financial (fees, fines, court costs)*NHTSA and NIAAA, A Guide to Sentencing DWI Offenders, 2nd Edition 2005

The term “24-7 sobriety program” means a State law or program that authorizes a State court or an agency withjurisdiction, as a condition of bond, sentence, probation, parole, or work permit to: (i) require an individual who was arrested for, plead guilty to, or wasconvicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs to totally abstain from alcohol or drugs for a period of time; and (ii) require the individual to besubject to testing for alcohol or drugs (I) at least twice per day at a testing location; (II) by continuous transdermal alcohol monitoring via an electronicmonitoring device; or (III) by an alternate method with the concurrence of the Secretary.1

Federal Penalty Requirements forAlcohol DUI Repeat Offenders - continued Other Key Provisions: Federal minimum penalty requirements apply only to repeat offenders. There are no federal penaltyrequirements for a first offender (states have full latitude for imposition of penalties for a first offender). The penalties under Sec. 164 apply to alcohol DUI only. Fines: Federal regulations do not address fines (states have full latitude to determine fines that will beimposed). The financial penalty assessed against the federal highway funds apportioned to a State Department ofTransportation reduces funding in the highway construction program. Utah has previously been penalizedfor failing to adhere to minimum penalty requirements. Under the federal penalty and under currentcategories of federal highway funding apportionment, Utah’s highway construction funds would be reducedby approximately 6.3 million each year the state is out of compliance. The federal regulations do not allow federal mandatory sentencing requirements to be waived, suspended orreduced. For example, to bring the state back into compliance with federal requirements, SB 150 adopted inthe 2015 General Session eliminated the option for a person to plea to reduced “impaired driving” penalties(UCA Section 41-6a-502.5), rather than conviction for a DUI (UCA Section 41-6a-502). Failure to meet allprobation requirements as a condition to the plea would result in a DUI conviction. SB 150 eliminated thereduced “impaired driving” penalty for repeat offenders, making it only available to first offenders (UCASection 41-6a-502.5(8)). Federal regulations tied to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) funding (which isdistributed to the Department of Public Safety’s Highway Safety Office), require a minimum DUI standard of.08 BAC, although states can adopt a stricter standard. A specific BAC standard is not tied to 23 USC 164repeat offender requirements, which allows states to define DUI. However, the net result of the combinedfederal laws and regulations is a requirement for a minimum .08 standard. Regardless of the BAC standardsadopted by each state, the federal minimum penalties apply only to persons convicted of DUI two or moretimes.

DUI Committee Recommendationsfor Sentencing/Penalty Changes Consider requiring a two-day jail sentence (48 consecutivehours) for a first DUI offense (eliminate the option of 48hours compensatory service). Consider enabling legislation to permit the use of newDUI offender monitoring technologies (e.g., OutreachSmartphone Monitoring/www.osmnow.com) Adopt the Utah Sentencing Commission’s proposedguidelines regarding length of supervision for DUIoffenders.

(UCA Section 41 -6a-502.5), rather than conviction for a DUI (UCA Section 41- 6a-502). Failure to meet all probation requirements as a condition to the plea would result in a DUI conviction. SB 150 eliminated the reduced "impaired driving" penalty for repeat offenders, making it only available to first offenders (UCA Section 41-6a-502.5(8)).
