SB 150 Utah Senate · 2025 General Session

Nonpublic Personal Information Amendments

SB 150 amends Utah's law governing nonpublic personal information, directly affecting businesses that collect consumer data and individuals whose data is handled. It clarifies that violations must be addressed through individual lawsuits (not group lawsuits), requires claims to be filed within one year of a transaction, and confirms the class action ban is a substantive legal rule. The bill updates definitions of terms like "commercial entity" and "nonpublic personal information" to better define what data is protected. It does not change the $500 penalty for failing to provide required notices or add new financial obligations. This bill takes effect May 7, 2025.

Introduced Substitute #1 · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill was expanded from a single section to three sections, adding a new definitions section to clarify terms like 'commercial entity' and 'nonpublic personal information,' and inserting a one-year statute of limitations for filing lawsuits. These changes ensure the law applies consistently to specific business types and data, while setting a clear deadline for individuals to seek remedies.
Scope change
The bill's scope was broadened by adding a comprehensive definitions section to clarify who and what the law covers, and by explicitly stating the statute of limitations for legal actions.
DEFINITION

Added a new Section 1 defining key terms such as 'affiliate,' 'commercial entity,' 'compensation,' 'consumer transaction,' 'nonpublic personal information,' 'physical office,' and 'third party' to ensure consistent application of the law.

ENFORCEMENT

Added a statute of limitations requiring that lawsuits be filed within one year of the consumer transaction in question.

TECHNICAL

Changed the bill's affected code section from 13-37-203 to include 13-37-102 to accommodate the new definitions section.
