Yes, it does. Utah's Good Samaritain Act reads, it was altered alittle in 1987 but is still pretty much the same.
Quote:
A person who renders emergency care at or near the scene of, or during an emergency, gratuitously and in good faith, is not liable for any civil damages or penalties as a result of any act or omission by the person rendering the emergency care, unless the person is grossly negligent or caused the emergency. As used in this section, "emergency" means an unexpected occurrence involving injury, threat of injury, or illness to a person or the public, including motor vehicle accidents, disasters, actual or threatened discharges, removal, or disposal of hazardous materials, and other accidents or events of a similar nature. "Emergency care" includes actual assistance or advice offered to avoid, mitigate, or attempt to mitigate the effects of an emergency.

"Emergency care: If any person, in good faith, renders emergency care at the place of the happening on an emergency, or while in transit in an ambulance or rescue vehicle to a person who is in urgent need of care as a result of the emergency, and if the acts of care are made in good faith and without willful or wanton negligence, the person
who renders the care is not liable in civil damages for his acts or omissions in rendering
the care as long as he receives no compensation for the care from or on behalf of the
person cared for, and provided further that any person rendering emergency care shall
have the duty to place the injured person under the care of a physician, nurse, or other
person qualified to care for such person as soon as possible and to obey the instructions
of such qualified person.
*Amendment - 1969 Omitted "without receiving any compensation for care" and added "as long he received no compensation for care from or on behalf of the person cared for.""
