AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Utah's Division of Consumer Protection oversees a range of industries — from credit services and charitable organizations to health spas and telephone solicitation — and this bill updates the legal framework governing how that division operates. It reorganizes and renumbers several existing chapters of state law, adds enforcement authority over a new chapter on generative AI consumer disclosures, clarifies that receiving a registration or filing approval from the division does not mean the state endorses or approves that business, and prohibits registered entities from claiming otherwise. The bill also strengthens the division's enforcement tools by specifying when courts can order businesses to return money to consumers (called disgorgement), updating when the division can deny or revoke registrations, and requiring that registered entities maintain a local agent in Utah for contact purposes.
