UT SB0120

Non-consent police generated tows must take vehicles to an impound yard within the same county where the tow is initiated, with exceptions for evidence holds, closer adjacent-county yards, or when local yards are unavailable

Law enforcement may direct tows to an adjacent county if that impound yard is closer than any yard in the originating county, provided the vehicle owner is informed of the location

State impound yards must have opaque fencing (including opaque chain link) on any side with frontage on paved Class A, B, or C roads, replacing the previous requirement for highway frontage only

Vehicles seized in road rage incidents may be released to the registered owner at the arrest location if they are not the arrested individual and are immediately available to take possession
