What this bill does
AI summary from the official description
This bill changes Utah's consumer protection law by spelling out the amount a court must award when ruling for the Division of Consumer Protection, and by defining more clearly what counts as a deceptive or unconscionable sales practice. It also clarifies the division's rulemaking and investigation powers, lets the division ask a court to order a business to give up money gained illegally, sets out factors courts weigh when setting fines, and confirms that government agencies can sue over defective construction.
