Utah lawmakers are considering changes to the state's drunken driving laws in the wake of a series of fatalities caused by wrong-way drivers.
A longtime law in Utah prohibiting teens from driving with friends in the car for a certain period of time may soon change.
A bill to mandate a minimum prison time for impaired drivers charged with automobile homicide passed a committee meeting and will move to the House floor for a vote.
House Bill 273, or "Sentencing Modifications for Certain DUI Offenses," would increase the minimum prison sentence for Utahns guilty of automobile homicide.
The bill comes as Washington state grapples with a 33-year high in traffic fatalities, half of which are the result of DUI crashes.
