Starting in May 2026, Utah law enforcement agencies would be prohibited from using unmarked vehicles — meaning vehicles without markings identifying them as law enforcement visible from at least 25 feet away on both sides — for patrol assignments whose main purpose is enforcing traffic infraction laws. The bill allows exceptions for unmarked vehicles used to address a documented, specific traffic problem in a community, for targeted safety operations such as DUI enforcement, construction zone or school zone speed enforcement, crosswalk enforcement, and stopped school bus violations, and for certain uses already permitted under existing vehicle registration law.
