Consumer Protection Act in Utah

Utah has a Consumer Protection Act that establishes certain requirements for businesses operating in the state. These requirements include provisions related to consumer data privacy and security. If you are a business operating in Utah, it is recommended that you review the relevant laws and regulations to ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable requirements [2.1].

Verification Requirements for Requests to Withhold Voter Registration Information

If an individual submits a request to withhold voter registration information, they must provide verification described in subsection (2) if the individual indicates on the request that the individual is, or resides with an individual who is: (a) A law enforcement officer; (b) A member of the armed forces; (c) A public figure; or (d) protected by a protective order or protection order. An individual shall provide verification by submitting a written statement with the request that explains why the individual is eligible to withhold voter information. If an individual does not submit the verification required by subsection (2) or the lieutenant governor or county clerk reasonably believes that the individual is not an eligible individual listed in subsection (1), the lieutenant governor or county clerk may require the individual to submit additional documentation to verify eligibility [3.1].

Consumer Complaints are Public

Consumer complaints are public in Utah. A consumer complaint is a complaint that alleges facts relating to conduct that the division regulates under this chapter and alleges a loss to the person described in Subsection (1)(a) of $3,500 or more; or is one of at least 50 complaints filed with the division against the same person during the four-year period immediately before the day on which the person described in Subsection (1)(a) files the complaint. Before making a consumer complaint that is subject to Subsection (3) or a response described in Subsection (6) available to the public, the division shall redact from the consumer complaint or response any information that would disclose the filer’s address, Social Security number, bank account information, email address, or telephone number; or information similar in nature to the information described in Subsection (5)(a)(i); and may redact the name of the filer and any other information that could, in the division’s judgment, disclose the identity of the filer filing the consumer complaint [4.1].

Hearing on Request for Agency Action
