Unwanted calls and texts in Utah: what the rules say

Utah changed its telemarketing law in 2026. The former Telephone and Facsimile Solicitation Act was repealed on May 6, 2026, and a new Telephone Fraud Prevention Act took effect. Utah also has a separate law addressing certain knowingly false caller or sender identification.

Where the rules draw a line

The current act has its own definitions, registration requirements, and exceptions. It should not be confused with the repealed chapter or treated as a blanket rule for every unwanted call or text.

What this can mean for a consumer

The telephone-solicitation provisions do not establish a general set payment for each unwanted call or text. The Division of Consumer Protection has enforcement authority under the new act; any other consumer claim depends on its own legal basis.

Keep the details

Save the full text thread, call log, voicemails, dates and times, the company or product named, and any reply asking the sender to stop. Those details can help show what happened; they do not establish by themselves that a law was violated.
