Terms Used In Utah Code > Title 63A > Chapter 16 > Part 3 - Information Technology Services and Rates

• Agency: means a board, commission, institution, department, division, officer, council, office, committee, bureau, or other administrative unit of the state, including the agency head, agency employees, or other persons acting on behalf of or under the authority of the agency head, the Legislature, the courts, or the governor, but does not mean a political subdivision of the state, or any administrative unit of a political subdivision of the state. See Utah Code 63A-1-103
• Chief information officer: means the chief information officer appointed under Section 63A-16-201. See Utah Code 63A-16-102

• Department: means the Department of Government Operations. See Utah Code 63A-1-103
• Division: means the Division of Technology Services. See Utah Code 63A-16-102
• Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. ^{Source: U.S. Courts}
