Dyed diesel fuel is a tax-exempt fuel meant for off-road uses like farm equipment, and Utah law already bans using it to power a vehicle on public highways. This bill would restrict when a government official or law enforcement officer may inspect a vehicle's fuel tank to check for dyed diesel fuel, allowing such inspections only if the official has probable cause of a violation, has the vehicle owner's consent, or is conducting the inspection at a designated port-of-entry checkpoint. It also clarifies that simply seeing someone drive a diesel-powered vehicle on a highway does not, by itself, count as probable cause for an inspection.
