Senate confirms Jason R. Maughan as Utah Labor Commission executive director
Summary
The Utah Senate consented to Jason R. Maughan's appointment as executive director of the Utah Labor Commission after a Business, Labor and Confirmation Committee hearing; the roll call showed 25 yays, 0 nays, 4 absent.
The Utah Senate moved and consented to the governor's appointment of Jason R. Maughan as Executive Director of the Utah Labor Commission.
Sen. Curtis S. Bramble, chair of the Senate Business, Labor and Confirmation Committee, reported a favorable recommendation after a confirmation hearing on 01/20/2017. Bramble said the committee had a thorough discussion about the labor commission's role and Maughan's vision. Multiple senators on the floor expressed personal support, citing prior professional interactions and Maughan's experience as deputy at the commission.
Jason R. Maughan addressed the Senate after confirmation: "I appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to consider my appointment... I'm very excited for the opportunity to do so," he said, noting he had been the deputy for almost four years and pledged to "earn the public's trust in the work of the commission."
The Senate then voted by roll call on the motion to consent. The clerk announced the results: 25 yays, 0 nays, 4 absent. President Niederhauser announced that the Senate had consented to the governor's appointments and acknowledged Maughan in the chamber.
Maughan will assume the role of executive director and, as noted on the record, had the committee's favorable recommendation before the full Senate consented.
