Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

This rule is authorized by Subsection 61-1-24(1)(a) of the Utah Uniform Securities Act, which authorizes the Division to make, amend, or rescind a rule when necessary to carry out the chapter. Under Subsection 61-1-1(3) of the Utah Uniform Securities Act, it is unlawful for any person to engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any person. Pursuant to Subsection 61-1-24(1)(a), this rule identifies specific acts and practices that are deemed fraudulent under Subsection 61-1-1(3).

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule assists licensees, the public and courts in interpreting "act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any person".
