Contractors handling state data must implement 128-bit encryption for data storage, secure transmission protocols, and maintain data centers within the United States only, with immediate notification required for security incidents or breaches. Workers' compensation insurance and commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of one million dollars per person per occurrence and three million dollars aggregate are mandatory. Commercial automobile liability insurance is required if vehicles are used in performance. All intellectual property developed under the contract transfers to the State Entity as work made for hire, except for the contractor's pre-existing background intellectual property and residual intellectual property. Contractors must register with Utah's Status Verification System (E-Verify) for employees and maintain records for six years following final payment. The contract is governed by Utah state law with venue in Salt Lake City's Third Judicial District Court, and liability is capped at ten million dollars for willful misconduct and five million dollars for third-party claims and other damages, except where Utah law prohibits such limitations.
