R27-10-2. Identification Mark

(1) The identification mark shall be a likeness of the Great Seal of the State of Utah.

(a) Light/Heavy duty trucks, service vehicles and off-road equipment shall be clearly marked, on each front door, with an eight-inch seal. At the option of the entity operating the motor vehicle, the identification mark may include a banner not more than four inches high which may bear the entity's logo and such name of department or division. All identification markings must be approved by the Division of Fleet Operations prior to use.

(b) Non-law enforcement passenger vehicles shall be marked with a translucent identification sticker, four inches in diameter on the furthest rearward window in the lower most rearward corner, on each side of the of the vehicle.

(2) An identification mark shall be placed on both sides of the motor vehicle. The required portion of the identification mark (State Seal) shall be placed on in a visible location on each side of the vehicle.

(3) The requirement for the display of the identification mark is not intended to preclude other markings to identify special purpose vehicles.

(4) Vehicles used for law enforcement purposes may, at the discretion of the operating agency, display a likeness of the Great Seal of the State of Utah in the center of a gold star for identification purposes. Other emergency response vehicles are not precluded from displaying additional appropriate markings. At the option of the agency, this seal may be placed on the front door above any molding and, where practicable, below the window at least four inches. The optional banner portion of the identification mark shall be placed immediately below the State Seal portion.

(5) It is the intent of these rules that these identification marks clearly identify the vehicles as being the property of the State of Utah. Additional markings should be applied discriminately so as not to detract from that intent.
