Unlawful Tracking Amendments

Summary

The bill changes Utah’s unlawful tracking law by renaming the crime to “unlawful use of a tracking device or tracking application” and extending it to devices placed on personal items and the use of tracking apps. It also gives victims the option to receive statutory damages in a civil suit instead of only compensatory damages. Police, parents, caregivers, licensed private investigators under specific safeguards, and court orders are exempt from the new restrictions.
