NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

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

Subsection 61-1-1(3) of the Utah Uniform Securities Act states that 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. Subsection 61-1-24(1)(a) allows the division to make rules necessary to carry out the provisions of the Act. Rule R164-1 helps to clarify Subsection 61-1-1(3) by identifying some acts and practices that are deemed fraudulent.

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

No written comments have been received.

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 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" and should be continued. The list is not all-inclusive, but gives individuals some guidelines in determining whether their acts and practices are fraudulent in nature.
