Leaving the scene of a car accident — commonly called a "hit and run" — currently carries a flat penalty in Utah, but this bill would create a tiered penalty system based on a driver's prior record. For accidents involving only property damage, the offense would become a class A misdemeanor if the driver had a prior hit-and-run or DUI-related conviction within the past 10 years, and a third-degree felony for drivers with multiple such priors or a prior felony hit-and-run or DUI; for accidents involving injury or death, penalties would similarly increase, up to a second-degree felony in cases involving a death or repeated serious injuries. A driver who voluntarily reports the accident to law enforcement within six hours could avoid these enhanced penalties, and self-reporting at any time would count as a mitigating factor at sentencing, while new mandatory minimum sentences (jail time, fines, treatment, and license consequences) would apply to these hit-and-run convictions. The bill would also let the Driver License Division request that a police officer attend a driver's license suspension hearing following a DUI arrest, extend the deadline for scheduling that hearing from 29 to 45 days after arrest, and push back the date a license suspension takes effect from the 45th to the 60th day after arrest if no hearing is requested.
