Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Businesses remain accountable for AI violations

Beginning May 7, 2025, businesses and others cannot blame AI for violations of laws enforced by Utah's Division of Consumer Protection. Violating the new chapter also violates Utah's Consumer Sales Practices Act. The Division can enforce the rules, with Attorney General support, and administrative or court fines can reach $2,500 per violation. Breaking a related administrative or court order can bring a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per violation. Courts can stop violations and order money returned to injured consumers; qualifying court relief must include the Division's reasonable attorney, court, and investigation costs. Other state and federal rights and remedies remain available.

Consumers get new AI disclosure rights

Beginning May 7, 2025, Utah suppliers must identify generative AI when consumers clearly ask whether they are interacting with a human or AI. Professionals in occupations regulated by Utah's Department of Commerce must prominently disclose high-risk AI interactions without being asked. High-risk interactions include collecting sensitive health, financial, or biometric data. They also include personalized guidance people could reasonably rely on for major financial, legal, medical, or mental-health decisions. Disclosures must be spoken at the start of spoken interactions or provided in writing before written interactions. Providers must still follow their occupation's rules, and the Division of Consumer Protection can define additional high-risk uses.

Clear AI labels shield providers from enforcement

Beginning May 7, 2025, providers can avoid enforcement for an AI disclosure violation through clear AI self-identification. The AI must clearly and noticeably identify itself as AI, not human, or an AI assistant. It must do so at the start and throughout the interaction. This protection applies to consumer transactions and regulated services, not to other kinds of violations.

Utah extends its AI policy law

Utah's Artificial Intelligence Policy Act remains in effect until July 1, 2027, instead of ending May 1, 2025. This extends the existing framework's duration without changing its substantive requirements through this provision.
