Securities & Finance Laws in Utah.

Federal securities law ('33 Act, '34 Act, '40 Act) is administered by the SEC. Utah supplements with the Utah Uniform Securities Act (Utah Code § 61-1-1 et seq.), administered by the Utah Division of Securities. The Act governs registration of securities (where not federally preempted), broker-dealers, investment advisers, and agents, and provides state anti-fraud remedies. Utah is a major center for financial-technology businesses and industrial loan companies (ILCs).
