Actually, the UT permit is losing some reciprocity. It's a PITA to get one out of state because the instructors have to travel to UT once a year to keep their instructors license. Obviously, this cost is passed onto those taking the classes in other states, as I did. I think I paid $50 and I was the only person in the class, held at a local cop's house. He fingerprinted me there too. Then I paid $60 or so for the permit app. and got it a month or two later. Then six mos. later NV stopped recognizing UT permits because they want people to have to travel to NV and spend money there to get trained. Several other states only recognize UT permits WITH a UT driver's license. So you have to know the laws where you're going. Non-resident permits are losing some reciprocity. I just keep a stack of permits when I travel to states with reciprocity and will deal them out like cards to a cop who stops me until he finds one he likes.
