Utah Becomes Fourth State To Pass Consumer Privacy Act, First With Republican-Controlled House And Senate
March 28, 2022
On March 24, 2022, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed the Utah Consumer Privacy Act into law, making Utah the fourth state to pass a comprehensive consumer privacy law, and the first in a state with a Republican-controlled legislature. Though the law shares many similarities with those passed in Colorado, Virginia, and California, its narrow scope and lack of a private right of action make it potentially less onerous for businesses. The Act goes into effect on December 31, 2023.
