This section is the bill's core private-sector compliance provision. It establishes that using generative AI is not a defense to violations of statutes administered by the Division of Consumer Protection, imposes an on-demand AI identity disclosure obligation on any person who deploys generative AI in a consumer-facing context governed by the Division, and imposes a separate proactive disclosure obligation on persons providing the services of a regulated occupation through generative AI. The proactive disclosure must be delivered verbally at the start of an oral exchange and via electronic messaging before a written exchange.
Enforcement is assigned to the Division of Consumer Protection, with administrative fines up to $2,500 per violation, court actions by the Division, and civil penalties up to $5,000 for violating administrative or court orders.

This section is the existing Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act deceptive-practices provision. SB 149 amends it only to add the word "license" to subsection (2)(i), clarifying that a supplier's false indication of holding a license — alongside sponsorship, approval, certification, or affiliation — constitutes a deceptive act. This is a minor conforming amendment rather than a new AI-specific obligation.
(14)(b) "Deidentified data" includes synthetic dataSynthetic data"Synthetic data" means data that has been generated by computer algorithms or statistical models and does not contain personal data.Utah Code § 13-61-101(34).

This section creates the regulatory mitigation agreement framework — the mechanism by which Learning Laboratory participants may receive temporary relief from certain regulatory requirements while testing AI technologies. Agreements must specify scope limitations, safeguards, and the specific mitigations granted. Participants remain subject to all legal requirements not expressly waived. The Office may remove participants at any time, and violations of legal requirements or agreement terms may result in immediate removal and full penalties.
(1)–(2) To be eligible for regulatory mitigationRegulatory mitigation"Regulatory mitigation" means: (a) when restitution to users may be required; (b) terms and conditions related to any cure period before penalties may be assessed; (c) any reduced civil fines during the participation term; and (d) other terms tailored to identified issues of the artificial intelligence technology.Utah Code § 13-70-101(12), a participantParticipant"Participant" means a person that is accepted to participate in the learning laboratory.Utah Code § 13-70-101(10) shall demonstrate to the officeOffice"Office" means the Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy created in Section 13-70-201.Utah Code § 13-70-101(9) that: (a) the participantParticipant"Participant" means a person that is accepted to participate in the learning laboratory.Utah Code § 13-70-101(10) has the technical expertise and capability to responsibly develop and test the proposed artificial intelligence technologyArtificial intelligence technology"Artificial intelligence technology" means a computer system, application, or other product that uses or incorporates one or more forms of artificial intelligence.Utah Code § 13-70-101(3); (b) the participantParticipant"Participant" means a person that is accepted to participate in the learning laboratory.Utah Code § 13-70-101(10) has sufficient financial resources to meet obligations during testing; (c) the artificial intelligence technologyArtificial intelligence technology"Artificial intelligence technology" means a computer system, application, or other product that uses or incorporates one or more forms of artificial intelligence.Utah Code § 13-70-101(3) provides potential substantial consumer benefits that may outweigh identified risks from mitigated enforcement of regulations; (d) the participantParticipant"Participant" means a person that is accepted to participate in the learning laboratory.Utah Code § 13-70-101(10) has an effective plan to monitor and minimize identified risks from testing; and (e) the scale, scope, and duration of proposed testing is appropriately limited based on risk assessments. (2) To evaluate whether an applicant meets eligibility criteria to receive regulatory mitigationRegulatory mitigation"Regulatory mitigation" means: (a) when restitution to users may be required; (b) terms and conditions related to any cure period before penalties may be assessed; (c) any reduced civil fines during the participation term; and (d) other terms tailored to identified issues of the artificial intelligence technology.Utah Code § 13-70-101(12), the officeOffice"Office" means the Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy created in Section 13-70-201.Utah Code § 13-70-101(9) may consult with relevant agencies and outside experts regarding the application.
This section establishes the eligibility criteria a Learning Laboratory participant must satisfy to receive regulatory mitigation. Participants must demonstrate technical expertise, sufficient financial resources, potential consumer benefits outweighing risks, an effective risk-monitoring plan, and appropriately limited testing scope. These are conditions precedent to obtaining sandbox participation rather than freestanding compliance obligations on the general market.

This section sets the ongoing obligations for participants admitted to the Learning Laboratory. Participants must provide information to state agencies per the participation agreement, report to the Office as required, retain records, and immediately report any incidents resulting in consumer harm, privacy breach, or unauthorized data usage. The incident-reporting obligation is the most significant private-sector compliance duty in this section.
(1)–(3) An initial regulatory mitigation agreementRegulatory mitigation agreement"Regulatory mitigation agreement" means an agreement between a participant, the office, and relevant state agencies described in Section 13-70-302.Utah Code § 13-70-101(11) shall be in force for no longer than 12 months. (2) A participantParticipant"Participant" means a person that is accepted to participate in the learning laboratory.Utah Code § 13-70-101(10) may request a single 12-month extension for participation in the learning laboratoryLearning laboratory"Learning laboratory" means the artificial intelligence analysis and research program created in Section 13-70-301.Utah Code § 13-70-101(8) period no later than 30 days before the end of the initial 12-month period. (3) The officeOffice"Office" means the Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy created in Section 13-70-201.Utah Code § 13-70-101(9) shall grant or deny an extension request before expiration of the initial demonstration period.
This section limits initial regulatory mitigation agreements to 12 months and permits a single 12-month extension upon request filed at least 30 days before the initial period expires. These are program administration provisions rather than compliance obligations on AI deployers generally.
(3) Title 13, Chapter 70, Artificial IntelligenceArtificial intelligence"Artificial intelligence" means a machine-based system that makes predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments.Utah Code § 13-70-101(2) Act, is repealed on May 1, 2025.
This section sets a sunset date of May 1, 2025 for Title 13, Chapter 70 (the Artificial Intelligence Policy Act). The AI Learning Laboratory Program and the Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy were designed as a one-year pilot. The consumer protection provisions in Section 13-2-12 and the criminal liability provision in Section 76-2-107 are not subject to this sunset.
(1)–(2) 8 As used in this section, "generative artificial intelligenceGenerative artificial intelligence"Generative artificial intelligence" means an artificial system that: (i) is trained on data; (ii) interacts with a person using text, audio, or visual communication; and (iii) generates non-scripted outputs similar to outputs created by a human, with limited or no human oversight.Utah Code § 13-2-12(1)(a)" means the same as that term is defined in Section 13-2-12. (2) An actor may be found guilty of an offense if: (a) the actor commits the offense with the aid of a generative artificial intelligenceGenerative artificial intelligence"Generative artificial intelligence" means an artificial system that: (i) is trained on data; (ii) interacts with a person using text, audio, or visual communication; and (iii) generates non-scripted outputs similar to outputs created by a human, with limited or no human oversight.Utah Code § 13-2-12(1)(a); or (b) the actor intentionally prompts or otherwise causes a generative artificial intelligenceGenerative artificial intelligence"Generative artificial intelligence" means an artificial system that: (i) is trained on data; (ii) interacts with a person using text, audio, or visual communication; and (iii) generates non-scripted outputs similar to outputs created by a human, with limited or no human oversight.Utah Code § 13-2-12(1)(a) to commit the offense.
This section clarifies that criminal liability attaches when an actor commits an offense with the aid of generative AI or intentionally prompts or causes a generative AI to commit an offense. This is a criminal-law clarification rather than an affirmative compliance obligation on AI developers or deployers — it extends existing criminal liability principles to AI-assisted conduct.
