Utah Admin. Code R27-7-3 - Driver Eligibility to Operate a State Vehicle
(1) The authority to operate a state vehicle
is subject to withdrawal, suspension, or revocation.
(2) Any employee on the list of authorized
drivers who is convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
(DUI), reckless driving, or any felony in which a motor vehicle is used, either
on or off duty, and whether in the state vehicle or their personal vehicle, may
have their state driving privileges withdrawn, suspended, or revoked.
(3) Any authorized driver who receives a
citation for violating a motor vehicle law while operating a state vehicle
shall attend an additional Risk Management-approved mandatory defensive driver
training program. Failure to attend the additional mandatory defensive driver
training program shall result in the loss of state driving
privileges.
(4) The authority to
operate a state vehicle shall be automatically withdrawn, suspended, or revoked
if an authorized driver's license is not in a valid status.
(5) The authority to operate a state vehicle
shall, at a minimum, be withdrawn, suspended, or revoked for the period of
denial, cancellation, disqualification, suspension, or revocation of the
authorized driver's license.
(6)
The authority to operate a state vehicle shall not be reinstated until the
authorized driver provides proof that their driver license has been reinstated
or the division verifies the license has been reinstated.
(7) The authority to operate a state vehicle
may be suspended or revoked for up to three years by the Driver Safety
Committee or the Driver Eligibility Board.
(8) The Driver Safety Committee or the Driver
Eligibility Board may withdraw an authorized driver's authority to operate a
state vehicle. The withdrawal of authority shall be in addition to
agency-imposed disciplinary, corrective, or remedial action, except when the
withdrawal of authority conflicts with an internal review and disciplinary
process that is approved by the division and substantially meets the
requirements outlined in rule.
(9)
An authorized driver declared ineligible to operate a state vehicle by the
Driver Safety Committee may appeal that determination to the Driver Eligibility
Board. An appeal to the Driver Eligibility Board must be made in writing within
30 days from the date the Driver Safety Committee issues its
decision.
