Hale said, if this wording were used, ihe judges would have io instruct juries as lo this meaning. It was pointed out that if the standard level of intoxication were lowered, the courts would probably get more guilty pleas and not overload the courts, as had been suggested might occur when more arrests were made by when they have a weekend special Vegas. He said it is coming in not by bottles, but by cases, in truck loads and Utah lowest In consumption, average in accidents In answer to a citizen's question of how much liquor is consumed per capita in Utah compared with other states, Director Webb said, "We are the lowest. He added that nationally 50 percent of accidents involve liquor, but Utah's average runs from about 28 to 48 percent, "so were not much lower than in Las lowering the level. But Sgt. Evans and Sheriff Phillips both agreed there probably wouldn't be any more violators picked up with an "obvious impairment" of driving ability with the lower rale than before. Hale said the lower rate would be more of an aid to prosecution for drunk driving than by more drivers being arrested. Both Evans and Phillips expressed their desire to see the level lowered. The sheriff said although he liked the .05 concept, he believes that the slightest degree wording is overcompensating. "You could achieve the same thing w ith di fferent language, he said. Judges loo lenient Those in attendance suggested that the general feeling of citizens is that judges are too lenient in their sentencing of the drunk driver and also wanted compensation for the victims of the drunk driver's actions. Hale said the committee is recommending that a victim restitution program be developed, but were not sure how to go about it. Attorney Huntsman, citing a, recent case I think in point here in Millard County, said, A citizen restitution is very important. commented that restitution is a reminder again and again of the violation. Supt. Dame said he thinks there needs to be some kind of a fund for restitution as some people cant make restitution. He cited an instance would be where a large sum of money could be needed for restitution over and above the coverage of insurance. Deputy Clerk Dalton suggested instituting some kind of work for indigents rather than monetary restitution. Huntsman replied that that would entail supervision problems, however. Even though the committees recommendations raise the fine for driving while intoxicated (this includes drugs and well as liquor), from a maximum of $299 to $1,000 and a mandatory jail sentence of one year, a few of the citizens believed that suggested fine and jail term should be doubled. Sheriff Phillips said the law should have a mandatory penalty so that a driver will know what the punishment will be before he drinks and drives. Flexibility needed , -- Attorney Huntsman said he believes the judge should have some flexibility, however, to impose either a fine or jail sentence whichever works for certain people." It was also noted that raising the Tine above the $299 mark would take the DUI cases out of the Justice of the Peace courts, as the law currently stands, and put them into the circuit courts. But Hale said the commission had made a provision in their recommendations that The stipulation that Justice of the Peace be extended jurisdiction for first offense DUI and circuit courts be extended jurisdiction for multiple offenses and DUI with injury, which would not put JPsout of business. The copimission's recommendations also included that the legislature adopt and fund a program for using intoxilyzers throughout the state. Hale called the intoxilyzer a magic which would take the place of the box breathalizer tests now in use. He said it is more accurate and the results would stand up in court. He said they are expensive and funding would have to be made available for them and for the training in the operation of them. Different problems for rural areas Judge Hare pointed out the fact that Fillmore and other southern rural areas have differing problems from those of the Wasatch Front in that a great many of the intoxicated drivers arrested here are from Hale asked what percentage of DUI arrests are people. The judge answered, Its at least $0 percent, and it is a problem with all of the towns along the way here. A citizen commented, That's why we need a jail term. Judge Hare said, But you can't give them a jail term unless they plead guilty. He explained that unless they plead guilty, he must set bail and bind the suspect over for trial. They usually pay the bail and leave the state. They know how to get around it, he said. Education needed Hale said that the feeling is that it wouldn't do any good to raise the fines and jail sentences without a mandate through legislation to refer all DUI offenders lo education and treatment programs. A citizen commented, That would cost money. Hale answered that, considering the many deaths attributable to drunken drivers, it would not be a cost so much as an investment. When asked if some of this funding could be achieved through raising the price of liquor. Director Webb said, "We think liquor prices are just about as high as they can go. $25 to $27 million was netted (by the state) from liquor last year. Doubling or tripling the price of liquor will not solve the problem. He indicated that more of this money should be earmarked for education by the legislature. He also said the bootlegging of liquor from surrounding states w ith lower prices is already a problem and that raising the price in Utah would only compound that problem. Sheriff Phillips agreed that many people now drive to neighboring states, especially . national, in the accident statistics. Hale said the support for the proposed changes in drinking driver laws right now is emotional rather than numbers support, but that right now the climate is the time to changethelaws. One citizen suggested that a reminder of the drinking laws be included when a driver renews his license plates. Hale said there are constitutional problems with that concept, but did not elaborate on what they w ere. Attorney Huntsman suggested having a person sign a contract when they get their drivers license saying that they will not drink and drive. Hale said this suggestion has been made before, but this is not one of our recommendations." But Judge Hare, expounding on this concept, said, Education is the single most important factor alerting him (the drinking driver) to the danger he faces." He said many of the drinking drivers he see in his court tell him, I didnt realize it was this serious. I didnt know I was going to jail. Hale said he believed this was an area where the schools should become involved. Judge Hare answered, "You need to educate everyone (not only those in school) out there, too! Director Webb added, We are making up a booklet to put in the schools. Most kids don't know they are breaking the law when they only try to buy liquor. The consensus of those at the hearing was that all supported the concept of upgrading the educational program. Judge Hare also emphasized that if a rehabilitation program is started, they need to see that it filters down south further than the Wasatch Front, as has been southern Utahs experience in other programs. It should be a statewide program, he said. Education classes will begin on Wednesday, September 23rd at the Millard High School. Interested persons may register at the high school office anytime prior to that dateor the first night of class.

Most agreed they thought this would be a good idea. A citizen reported that she had talked about this with a local publisher and said the publisher indicated that if names were to be published she would prefer it be made a law to do so in order for a newspaper to avoid having their editor or reporters blamed for revealing (he names of offenders. In a small town this can be a sticky situation for a newspaper she was said to have commented. Huntsman added that he thought publishing names of 16 and 17 year old drinking drivers would be considered a badge of honor for some of them rather than a shameful thing. Under the present law, a newspaper cannot publish a juvenile offender's name except in rare instances. This law would have to be modified to stipulate that juvenile DUI offenders' names should be published before they could be under the recommendation set forth by the committee.

We need to give the people a course on law. We need better connections through the whole group. Is there a way to keep a drinking judge from hearing DUI cases? was answered by Hale. He said, 1 don't think so! It has been my experience that a good Mormon Bishop judge will bend over backward to be fair and hand them their licenses back, where a drinking judge will throw the book at them. Maybe that suggestion should be reversed! In summarizing the recommendations, Mr. Hale said the penalty and jail term for DUI needs to be increased, not only because of the graivity of the offense, but also to keep up w ith inflation. Huntsman said the recommendations should differentiate between the first offense and others and between culpability Fillmore I water Some of the citizens suggested doing away with plea bargaining, but Attorney Huntsman explained that he thinks plea bargaining has a place in the law.
