The Davis County Budget Committee meeting on September 26, 2025, highlighted significant advancements in the county's data privacy program and acknowledged the ongoing support from the Utah Association of Counties (UAC).

During the meeting, officials expressed gratitude for UAC's efforts since 2018 in lobbying for state funding to acquire new equipment, although future funding remains uncertain. The discussion then shifted to the county's newly established data privacy program, which has seen notable progress since its inception.

The county has successfully appointed a data privacy administrator and formed a data privacy committee. Training initiatives have been implemented, resulting in a substantial increase in the county's data privacy maturity level, which rose from 2.1 to 3.8 on a scale of 5. This improvement reflects the collective efforts of county departments to enhance data privacy practices.

As of the meeting date, 96% of county employees have completed mandatory data privacy training, with efforts ongoing to ensure full compliance. The commitment from administrative officers and department representatives has been instrumental in achieving this high completion rate.

The meeting underscored the importance of collaboration in maintaining data privacy standards, with officials emphasizing that the responsibility lies with all county employees. The involvement of state data privacy ombudsman Lana Taylor was also noted, reinforcing the county's dedication to upholding data privacy regulations.

Overall, the meeting showcased Davis County's proactive approach to data privacy and the importance of continued support and training in this critical area.
