145 3-1-9. Powers.
146 [(I)] (1) An association formed under this act, or an association which might be formed
147 under this act and which existed at the time this act took effect, shall have power and capacity
148 to act possessed by natural persons and may do each and everything necessary, suitable or
149 proper for the accomplishment of any one or more of the purposes, or the attainment of any one
150 or more of the objects herein enumerated or conducive to or expedient for the interests or
151 benefit of the association, and may exercise all powers, rights, and privileges necessary or

152 incident thereto, including the exercise of any rights, powers, and privileges granted by the
153 laws of this state to corporations generally, excepting such as are inconsistent with the express
154 provisions of this act.
155 [Special Authority.]
156 [(II)] (2) Without limiting or enlarging the grant of authority contained in [Subdivision
157 I of this section] Subsection (1), it is hereby specifically provided that every such association
158 shall have authority:
159 (a) to act as agent, broker, or attorney in fact for its members and other producers, and
160 for any subsidiary or affiliated association, and otherwise to assist or join with associations
161 engaged in any one or more of the activities authorized by its articles, and to hold title for its
162 members and other producers, and for subsidiary and affiliated association to property handled
163 or managed by the association on their behalf;
164 (b) to make contracts and to exercise by its board or duly authorized officers or agents,
165 all such incidental powers as may be necessary, suitable or proper for the accomplishment of
166 the purposes of the association and not inconsistent with law or its articles, and that may be
167 conducive to or expedient for the interest or benefit of the association;
168 (c) to make loans or advances to members or producer-patrons or to the members of an
169 association which is itself a member or subsidiary thereof; to purchase, or otherwise acquire,
170 endorse, discount, or sell any evidence of debt, obligation or security;
171 (d) to establish and accumulate reasonable reserves and surplus funds and to abolish
172 the same; also to create, maintain, and terminate revolving funds or other similar funds which
173 may be provided for in the bylaws of the association;
174 (e) to own and hold membership in or shares of the stock of other associations and
175 corporations and the bonds or other obligations thereof, engaged in any related activity; or, in
176 producing, warehousing or marketing any of the products handled by the association; or, in
177 financing its activities; and while the owner thereof, to exercise all the rights of ownership,
178 including the right to vote thereon;
179 (f) to acquire, hold, sell, dispose of, pledge, or mortgage, any property which its
180 purposes may require;
181 (g) to borrow money without limitation as to amount, and to give its notes, bonds, or
182 other obligations therefor and secure the payment thereof by mortgage or pledge;

183 (h) to deal in products of, and handle machinery, equipment, supplies and perform
184 services for nonmembers to an amount not greater in annual value than such as are dealt in,
185 handled or performed for or on behalf of its members, but the value of the annual purchases
186 made for persons who are neither members nor producers shall not exceed fifteen per centum
187 of the value of all its purchases. Business transacted by an association for or on behalf of the
188 United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof, shall be disregarded in determining the
189 volume or value of member and nonmember business transacted by such association;
190 (i) if engaged in marketing the products of its members, to hedge its operations;
191 (j) to have a corporate seal and to alter the same at pleasure;
192 (k) to continue as a corporation for the time limited in its articles, and if no time limit
193 is specified then perpetually;
194 (l) to sue and be sued in its corporate name;
195 (m) to conduct business in this state and elsewhere as may be permitted by law; and
196 (n) to dissolve and wind up.
197 Section 2. Section 3-1-17 is amended to read:
198 3-1-17. Contracts with association.
199 [(I)] (1) (a) The bylaws may require members to execute contracts with the association
200 in which the members agree to patronize the facilities created by the association, and to sell all
201 or a specified part of their products to or through it, or to buy all or a specified part of their
202 supplies from or through the association or any facilities created by it.
203 (b) If the members contract to sell through the association, the fact that for certain
204 purposes the relation between the association and its members may be one of agency shall not
205 prevent the passage from the member to the association of absolute and exclusive title to the
206 products which are the subject matter of the contract.
207 (c) Such title shall pass to the association upon delivery of the product, or at any other
208 time specified in the contract.
209 (d) If the period of the contract exceeds three years, the bylaws and the contracts
210 executed thereunder shall specify a reasonable period, not less than ten days in each year, after
211 the third year, during which the member, by giving to the association such reasonable notice as
212 the association may prescribe, may withdraw from the association; provided, that if the bylaws
213 or contracts executed hereunder so specify, a member may not withdraw from the association

214 while indebted thereto.
215 (e) In the absence of such a withdrawal provision, a member may withdraw at any time
216 after three years.
217 [Damages for Breach.]
218 [(II)] (2) The contract may fix, as liquidated damages, which shall not be regarded as
219 penalties, specific sums to be paid by the members to the association upon the breach of any
220 provision of the contract regarding the use of any facilities of the association or the sale,
221 delivery, handling, or withholding of products; and may further provide that the member who
222 breaks his contract shall pay all costs, including premiums for bonds, and reasonable attorney's
223 fees, to be fixed by the court, in case the association prevails in any action upon the contract.
224 [Equitable Relief.]
225 [(III)] (3) (a) A court of competent jurisdiction may grant an injunction to prevent the
226 breach or further breach of the contract by a member and may decree specific performance
227 thereof.
228 (b) Pending the adjudication of such an action and upon filing a verified complaint
229 showing the breach or threatened breach, and a bond in such form and amount as may be
230 approved by the court, the court may grant a temporary restraining order or preliminary
231 injunction against the member.
232 [Remedy Not Exclusive.]
233 [(IV)] (4) No remedy, either legal or equitable, herein provided for, shall be exclusive,
234 but the association may avail itself of any and all such remedies, at the same or different times,
235 in any action or proceeding.
236 [Landowners Presumed to Control Delivery.]
237 [(V)] (5) In any action upon such marketing contracts, it shall be conclusively
238 presumed that a landowner or landlord or lessor is able to control the delivery of products
239 produced on his land by tenants or others, whose tenancy or possession or work on such land or
240 the terms of whose tenancy or possession or labor thereon were created or changed after
241 execution by the landowner or landlord or lessor of such a marketing contract; and in such
242 actions, the foregoing remedies for nondelivery or breach shall lie and be enforceable against
243 such landowner, landlord, or lessor.
244 [Filing Contract.]

245 [(VI)] (6) (a) The association may file contracts to sell agricultural products to or
246 through the association in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the products
247 are produced.
248 (b) If the association has uniform contracts with more than one member in any county,
249 it may, in lieu of filing the original contracts, file the affidavit of its president, vice president or
250 secretary, containing or having attached thereto:
251 [(a)] (i) a true copy of the uniform contract entered into with its members producing
252 such product in that county; and
253 [(b)] (ii) the names of the members who have executed such contract and a description
254 of the land on which the product is produced, if such description is contained in the contract.
255 (c) The association may file from time to time thereafter affidavits containing revised
256 or supplementary lists of the members producing such product in that county without setting
257 forth therein a copy of the uniform contract but referring to the filed or recorded copy thereof.
258 (d) All affidavits filed under this section shall state in substance that they are filed
259 pursuant to the provisions of this section.
260 (e) The county recorder shall file such affidavits and make endorsements thereon and
261 record and make entries thereof in the same manner as is required by law in the case of chattel
262 mortgages, and he shall compile and make available for public inspection a convenient index
263 containing the names of all signers of such contracts, and collect for his services hereunder the
264 same fees as for chattel mortgages.
265 (f) The filing of any such contract, or such affidavit, shall constitute constructive notice
266 of the contents thereof, and of the association's title or right to the product embraced in such
267 contract, to all subsequent purchasers, encumbrancers, creditors, and to all persons dealing with
268 the members with reference to such product.
269 (g) No title, right, or lien of any kind shall be acquired to or on the product thereafter
270 except through the association or with its consent, or subject to its rights; and the association
271 may recover the possession of such property from any and all subsequent purchasers,
272 encumbrancers, and creditors, and those claiming under them, in whose possession the same
273 may be found, by any appropriate action for the recovery of personal property, and it may have
274 relief by injunction and for damages.

303 Corporations and Commercial Code on the 30th day after mailing a copy of the plan to
304 shareholders or members.

602 Section 9. 13-5-9 is amended to read:
603 13-5-9. Transactions involving more than one item -- Limitation on quantity of
604 article or product sold or offered for sale to any one customer.
605 (1) For the purpose of preventing evasion of this [act] chapter in all sales involving
606 more than one item or commodity the vendor's or distributor's selling price shall not be below
607 the cost of all articles, products, and commodities included in such transactions. Each article,
608 product, or commodity individually advertised or offered for sale, shall be individually subject
609 to the requirements of Section 13-5-7 , when sold with other articles, products, or commodities.
610 (2) Under this section, proof of limitation of the quantity of any article or product sold
611 or offered for sale to any one customer of a quantity less than the entire supply thereof owned
612 or possessed by the seller or which he is otherwise authorized to sell at the place of such sale or
613 offering for sale, together with proof that the price at which the article or product is so sold or
614 offered for sale is in fact below its cost, raises a presumption of the purpose or the intent of the
615 sale being to injure competitors or destroy competition, and is unlawful. This section applies
616 only to sales by persons conducting a retail business, the principal part of which involves the

617 resale to consumers of commodities purchased or acquired for that purpose, as distinguished
618 from persons principally engaged in the sale to consumers of commodities of their own
619 production or manufacture.
620 (3) There shall be no circumvention of the provisions of this [act] chapter relating to
621 the quantity of articles or products any one customer may purchase by requiring presentation of
622 coupons, certificates, special purchase authorizations, or any other procedures designed in any
623 way to limit quantity of purchases as provided herein.
624 Section 10. 13-11a-3 is amended to read:
625 13-11a-3. Deceptive trade practices enumerated -- Records to be kept -- Defenses.
626 (1) Deceptive trade practices occur when, in the course of his business, vocation, or
627 occupation:
628 (a) A person passes off goods or services as those of another.
629 (b) A person causes likelihood of confusion or of misunderstanding as to the source,
630 sponsorship, approval, or certification of goods or services.
631 (c) A person causes likelihood of confusion or of misunderstanding as to affiliation,
632 connection, association with, or certification by another.
633 (d) A person uses deceptive representations or designations of geographic origin in
634 connection with goods or services.
635 (e) A person represents that goods or services have sponsorship, approval,
636 characteristics, ingredients, uses, benefits, or qualities that they do not have or that a person has
637 a sponsorship, approval, status, affiliation, or connection that he does not have.
638 (f) A person represents that goods are original or new if they are deteriorated, altered,
639 reconditioned, reclaimed, used, or second-hand.
640 (g) A person represents that goods or services are of a particular standard, quality, or
641 grade, or that goods are of a particular style or model, if they are of another.
642 (h) A person disparages the goods, services, or business of another by false or
643 misleading representation of fact.
644 (i) A person advertises goods or services or the price of goods and services with intent
645 not to sell them as advertised. If specific advertised prices will be in effect for less than one
646 week from the advertisement date, the advertisement must clearly and conspicuously disclose
647 the specific time period during which the prices will be in effect.

648 (j) A person advertises goods or services with intent not to supply a reasonable
649 expectable public demand, unless:
650 (i) the advertisement clearly and conspicuously discloses a limitation of quantity; or
651 (ii) the person issues rainchecks for the advertised goods or services.
652 (k) A person makes false or misleading statements of fact concerning the reasons for,
653 existence of, or amounts of price reductions.
654 (l) A person makes a comparison between his own sale or discount price and a
655 competitor's nondiscounted price without clearly and conspicuously disclosing that fact.
656 (m) A person, without clearly and conspicuously disclosing the date of the price
657 assessment makes a price comparison with the goods of another based upon a price assessment
658 performed more than seven days prior to the date of the advertisement or uses in an
659 advertisement the results of a price assessment performed more than seven days prior to the
660 date of the advertisement without disclosing, in a print ad, the date of the price assessment, or
661 in a radio or television ad, the time frame of the price assessment.
662 (n) A person advertises or uses in a price assessment or comparison a price that is not
663 his own unless this fact is:
664 (i) clearly and conspicuously disclosed; and
665 (ii) the representation of the price is accurate. With respect to the price of a
666 competitor, the price must be one at which the competitor offered the goods or services for sale
667 in the product area at the time of the price assessment, and must not be an isolated price.
668 (o) A person represents as independent an audit, accounting, price assessment, or
669 comparison of prices of goods or services, when such audit, accounting, price assessment, or
670 comparison is not independent. Such audit, accounting, price assessment, or comparison shall
671 be independent if the price assessor randomly selects the goods to be compared, and the time
672 and place of such comparison, and no agreement or understanding exists between the supplier
673 and the price assessor that could cause the results of the assessment to be fraudulent or
674 deceptive. The independence of such audit, accounting, or price comparison is not invalidated
675 merely because the advertiser pays a fee therefor, but is invalidated if the audit, accounting, or
676 price comparison is done by a full or part time employee of the advertiser.
677 (p) A person represents, in an advertisement of a reduction from the supplier's own
678 prices, that the reduction is from a regular price, when the former price is not a regular price as

679 defined in Subsection 13-11a-2 (12).
680 (q) A person advertises a price comparison or the result of a price assessment or
681 comparison that uses, in any way, an identified competitor's price without clearly and
682 conspicuously disclosing the identity of the price assessor and any relationship between the
683 price assessor and the supplier. Examples of disclosure complying with this section are: "Price
684 assessment performed by Store Z"; "Price assessment performed by a certified public
685 accounting firm"; "Price assessment performed by employee of Store Y."
686 (r) A person makes a price comparison between a category of the supplier's goods and
687 the same category of the goods of another, without randomly selecting the individual goods or
688 services upon whose prices the comparison is based. For the purposes of this subsection,
689 goods or services are randomly selected when the supplier has no advance knowledge of what
690 goods and services will be surveyed by the price assessor, and when the supplier certifies its
691 lack of advance knowledge by an affidavit to be retained in the supplier's records for one year.
692 (s) A person makes a comparison between similar but nonidentical goods or services
693 unless the nonidentical goods or services are of essentially similar quality to the advertised
694 goods or services or the dissimilar aspects are clearly and conspicuously disclosed in the
695 advertisements.
696 (i) It is prima facie evidence of compliance with [this] Subsection (1)(s) if:
697 [(i)] (A) the goods compared are substantially the same size; and
698 [(ii)] (B) the goods compared are of substantially the same quality, which may include
699 similar models of competing brands of goods, or goods made of substantially the same
700 materials and made with substantially the same workmanship.
701 (ii) It is prima facie evidence of a deceptive comparison under [this section] Subsection
702 (1)(s) when the prices of brand name goods and generic goods are compared.
703 (t) A person engages in any other conduct which similarly creates a likelihood of
