The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control regulates the manufacture, sale, and use of alcoholic beverages by licensing on-premise businesses, manufacturers, wholesalers, warehouses, importers, and liquor representatives. The Department of Commerce registers businesses, licenses professionals, conducts consumer protection and education, oversees public utilities, and monitors real estate and securities industries. The department is funded mostly from fee and fine revenue paid to the Commerce Service Fund. Collections above Commerce Service Fund appropriations are transferred to the General Fund. The Department of Financial Institutions regulates state chartered, deposit-taking institutions including banks, credit unions, savings and loans, industrial banks, and non-institutional lenders (traveler's checks, money order issuers, independent escrow companies, check cashers/payday lenders, residential first mortgage loan services and consumer credit lenders.) The Insurance Department regulates the state's insurance industry to protect consumers and the public. It monitors and promotes insurance company solvency and fosters a competitive insurance market. It also oversees the Comprehensive Health Insurance Pool, the Title Insurance Industry, and the bail bond Surety Program. The mission of the Labor Commission is to improve work environments through programs aimed at safety, health, fairness, and non-discrimination. It also administers state and federal fair housing programs and administers policies related to worker's compensation for self-insured employers. The Department of Workforce Services administers the state's job placement; job training; unemployment insurance; labor market information; and the welfare functions of the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), food stamps, and child care. The Public Service Commission regulates public utilities with the goal of having efficient, reliable, reasonably priced services for customers, together with the maintenance of financially healthy utilities. It also oversees the Speech and Hearing Impaired and Universal Telecommunications Service Support Fund programs. The Utah State Office of Rehabilitation (USOR), under the direction of the Utah State Board of Education, operates programs designed to assist individuals with disabilities to prepare for and obtain gainful employment and increase their independence. USOR provides tailored services focusing on the need, interest, ability, and informed choice of individuals. Services are time-limited and designed to increase and maintain levels of independence and community participation. USOR works in concert with other community service and resource providers to offer rehabilitative services throughout the state.
