Colorado and Utah are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) so your home state of CO will be notified of your UT speeding ticket. The Colorado statute CRS 24-60-1101 talks about the DLC.

This Colorado Revised Statute states that the licensing authority of a party state shall report each conviction of a person from another state back to the home state of the licensee. The report needs to include a description of the violation as well as what action was taken.

When the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles receives this out of state violation conviction information, they will decide what to do with it. They have the right to give such effect to the offense as if it occurred in the home state.

It appears if it is a major offense, such as drunk driving, that CO does regard the violation as if it happened in state and thus it incurs penalties. But this CRS says, as the home state issuing the license, Colorado will not take adverse action regarding minor traffic infractions.

Some sources note that this means that Colorado will not enter minor out of state offenses, such as speeding, or assign points. Since the statute was not completely clear on this issue, we contacted the CO DMV to find out for certain.

The CO DMV representative we contacted stated that if you do not have a CDL and just a regular Colorado driver license, as long as you pay the Utah citation, it will not go onto your Colorado driver's record. Since it will not go on your Colorado driving record it will not be assigned points either.

However, if you do not pay the citation, Utah will notify the Colorado department of motor vehicles of this, and they will send a notice to you to your last known address, giving you a certain amount of time to provide this department a notice from Utah showing that this citation has been satisfied/paid.

If the compliance shows that it was paid on or before the action date that is given to you, any suspension that would have put in place will be rescinded. However, if the compliance would show that it was paid after the action date that that the DMV gives you, then you would be required to reinstate your privilege.

If you did have a CDL then any and all citation you receive anywhere in the US would go on your Colorado commercial driver's license.
