H.B. 396 Public Project Subcontractor Amendments · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Asks whether the bill's requirement for subcontractor employees' social security numbers is a privacy concern.
▶ Watch at 57:49Read what they said
Senator Brammer, will you yield? Um, thank you. So you just said your presentation, social security numbers, I think line 5 28 requires the last four digits of social security number for each employee of a subcontractor. Um, don't you feel like that's a, a violation of a privacy of these employees? They, they're not the ones that are contracting with the state and now the government's going to be demanding the subcontractor, their bosses to give their social security numbers to the state. That, that seems a little bit onerous.
H.B. 396 Public Project Subcontractor Amendments · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Proposes a verbal motion to amend to strike the social security number requirement.
▶ Watch at 58:25Read what they said
Thank You Mr. President. I'd like to do a verbal motion to amend, Uh, And that would be the strike lines 5 28. That would just, that's in Order.
H.B. 396 Public Project Subcontractor Amendments · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Explains the verbal motion to strike the social security number requirement while keeping employee names and professional licenses.
▶ Watch at 58:43Read what they said
The verbal motion is to strike line 5 28. That would still allow Doppel to get the name of the employee and the professional license, but not the social security number.
H.C.R. 8 Concurrent Resolution Directing PEHP to Establish the Weight Management and Obesity Pilot Program · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Explained his vote, saying that directing PEHP is done through a resolution rather than a state statute, and voted aye.
▶ Watch at 59:19Read what they said
Like to explain my vote. I remember a day back in 2013 when a certain representative in the house used to stand up and say, this is a resolution. I vote no, I'm gonna vote. Aye on his resolution. And just remind the body when we do want to direct PEHP. We do do it through a resolution, not through a state statute. So I vote. Aye.
H.B. 396 Public Project Subcontractor Amendments · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Summarizes his privacy concern about contractors giving employees' social security numbers to the government and explains the basis for the motion.
▶ Watch at 1:00:07Read what they said
Yeah, so the, my concern here, it's a privacy concern and this is not for the subcontractors. If they wanna give their social securities, that's fine, but this is for all of their employees, their current employees, their future employees. And I just think it's a little bit onerous for the contractor to have to give all of their employees social security numbers to the government. So that's, that's the basis for the motion. They'd still get their names and any license that they had.
H.C.R. 2 Concurrent Resolution Authorizing Adult Sentencing and Supervision Length Guidelines and Juvenile Disposition Guidelines · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

Um, and this is our legislative prerogative to approve the sentencing guidelines for the sentencing commission. So we need a balance of the reduced penalties for nonviolent crime with, we need to balance that with accountability. And there has been a case in southern Utah where two children were brutally abused and the former sentencing guidelines would've recommended zero jail time in that case. So this bill, uh, is …
H.B. 336 Recovery Operations Amendments · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Presents H.B. 336, which defines recovery operations, sets insurance coverage rules and a billing standard, and creates dispute procedures including a bond and arbitration process, then yields for questions.
▶ Watch at 1:15:29Read what they said
This bill creates a definition for recovery, operations and rules for insurance coverage of them. It also creates a billing standard and dispute, uh, procedures. It defines cut recovery operations as the removal of a vehicle that is unable to move on its own and cannot be accessed by a normal tow truck. Commercial vehicles that have liability only insurance policy or that do not have a certain amount set aside for recovery must obtain an endorsement for at least $40,000.
