Utah Code § 7-1-806

Nothing in this act shall be construed to prevent money market funds from making arrangements with banks to honor two party checks, drafts, or other instruments. The commissioner shall exert his influence to discourage banks, money market funds and other programs in Utah and throughout the United States from paying interest to two persons at the same time on funds in the process of transfer. The process or the practice referred to as pyramiding or any similar process or practice as defined by the commissioner, and such definition is approved by the governor, shall be prohibited within this state and persons found guilty of these schemes shall be found guilty of a class C misdemeanor. This does not preclude more serious punishment under federal law. Money market funds, similar funds and bank regulated institutions shall cooperate with the commissioner to stop these practices.
