 "firstOffenseIidNote": "Two overlapping provisions. Utah Code § 41-6a-518(2)(a): unless the court determines and states on the record that an interlock is not necessary for community safety and in the best interest of justice, the court shall require that any person convicted under § 41-6a-502 and granted probation drive only a vehicle with a certified ignition interlock during probation. Independently, § 41-6a-518.2(1)(b)(ii)(A) and (2)(b)(i) make any person convicted under § 41-6a-502 an 'interlock restricted driver' for 18 months from proof of installation and reinstatement (three years if under 21 per DLD). § 41-6a-518(2)(e) excludes convictions that do not involve alcohol, and § 41-6a-518.2(8) allows the Division to remove the restriction if the offense did not involve alcohol.",
 "sr22Note": "No DUI-specific SR-22 requirement was found on official sources. The Utah Driver License Division's SR22 page lists the circumstances that require an SR-22 filing — a conviction for driving without insurance, an uninsured vehicle involved in an accident, a court order for damages from an uninsured accident, and Driving Privilege Card holders — and does not list DUI; the DLD DUI, IID and reinstatement pages likewise do not mention an SR-22 for DUI. When an SR-22 is required, Utah Code § 41-12a-411 and DLD state it is maintained for three years.",
