Utah statutes and administrative rules regulate CSO practices in the state HOWEVER they do not nullify the Federal Code (15 U.S. Code §1679j) that also regulates the profession. There are specific acts prohibited under federal laws. The credit service organization bond may generally be claimed upon for violations of particular state rules, rather than the CRO Act however a credit services professional must clearly understand the federal regulations.
