UT HB0136

Law enforcement must impound vehicles when operators lack a valid driving credential (driver license, driving privilege card, or learner permit) unless the officer can verify one was issued, with exceptions for expired credentials, public safety concerns, minors under 18, or when a licensed occupant can drive

Peace officers must take a "quick fingerprint" to identify unlicensed drivers who cannot provide identification or whose ID appears fraudulent, with law enforcement agencies required to have fingerprinting equipment by January 1, 2028

Administrative impound fees increase from $425 to $600, and administrative testing fees increase from $30 to $60, with fee revenue distributed to the Motor Vehicle Division ($29), Department of Public Safety ($187), Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Fund ($20), and General Fund

Repeat violations of driving without a license are elevated from an infraction to a class B misdemeanor, and a $500 minimum fine is established for those who knowingly permit unlicensed drivers to operate their vehicles

Software vendors providing fingerprint device services to law enforcement must ensure compatibility with law enforcement database software within one year of system activation
