Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 4 mixed.
Insurers get monthly driving-violation flags
Beginning July 1, 2026, your auto insurer or its designee may receive parts of your driving record for current policyholders. The disclosure includes your name, driver license number, date of birth, and whether you had a reportable moving violation in the previous month. It must be provided under a contract with the insurer.
Assessors may verify with license data
Starting July 1, 2026, a county assessor may get your name, date of birth, and current address from the Driver License Division to check if your home qualifies for the residential exemption. The assessor may only use this information to verify the exemption.
New filings to keep home tax break
Beginning July 1, 2026, counties may require an application before they apply the residential exemption if the home was ineligible last year, ownership changed, or the board questions eligibility. You must use state forms; counties cannot ask for the sales price or extra info. For new homes and some rentals, each owner must sign a primary‑residence declaration under penalty of perjury. For tenant‑occupied homes, the assessor may ask for a current lease, then insurance, then a tax filing; not tenant info. After an ownership change, the assessor mails a notice and the form; you must file within 90 days. The assessor may skip notice if your property address matches your mailing, license, or voter address, or you use a PO box in a small county. If you do not file after that notice, you lose the exemption for that year unless you file within 30 days, appeal, or apply to confirm eligibility. If you stop qualifying, you must file a county statement and note the loss on your individual income tax return for that tax year. The county may recheck and notify you; you must appeal by the later of September 15 or 45 days after the auditor’s notice. In the first year you qualify, the assessor may require a signed statement; in later years for certain rental personal property, a simple certification may be enough. If both your old and new homes qualify, you do not need to file or make the tax‑return declaration.
Opt out of driver data sharing
Driver license and ID forms include a notice and links that explain data sharing and let you opt out. You can block sharing with the University of Utah for genetic and health research. If you ask the University to remove your data, it must delete it within 90 days, except data already sent to a study. The University must audit its security and report every two years. These rules start July 1, 2026.
Part-year home exemption rules and fee
Before a county applies a part‑year residential exemption, you must file the state form and certify the date the home became residential, that it will be used 183 or more consecutive days that year, and that no one in your household will claim another residential exemption that year. If you file on or after May 1 for that year, the county may charge a fee up to $50. These rules start July 1, 2026.
More government access to driver records
Beginning July 1, 2026, the Driver License Division may share identifying information with the State Tax Commission for tax‑fraud work and other lawful uses, and with government entities or vetted agents when needed for public safety or official duties. The Division may charge fees for disclosures and certain responses. Driving records shared under this law show only the last 10 years, except for court and law‑enforcement reports and commercial driver license records.
