Utah Code § 13-11 § 13-11-21.1
Retrospective Operation.
Operative Text
Retrospective Operation. The provisions of Laws of Utah 2024, Chapter 222 apply to any claim for which a court has not issued a final, unappealable judgment or order as of May 1, 2024.
Utah Code Ann. § 13-11-21.1 establishes the temporal reach of the 2024 amendments enacted under Laws of Utah 2024, Chapter 222. These changes apply not only to new claims going forward but also to any existing claim where a court had not yet issued a final, unappealable judgment or order as of May 1, 2024. In other words, pending litigation that was still open on that date falls within the scope of the new law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Utah Code Ann. § 13-11-21.1, property owners and managers involved in any legal dispute that had not reached a final, unappealable resolution by May 1, 2024, should be aware that the 2024 statutory changes under Laws of Utah 2024, Chapter 222 may govern that matter. Compliant operators generally review ongoing or recently filed claims in light of the updated provisions to understand how the amended rules apply. Consulting legal counsel familiar with Utah consumer protection law is a common step when assessing how this retrospective scope affects pending matters.
