What is GRAMA?

The Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) is a Utah law that deals with the management of government records. GRAMA specifies who has access to various state records and how the law is to be administered. It is intended to balance the public’s constitutional right of access to public information, an individual’s constitutional right of privacy when the personal information is collected by government entities, and the public policy interest in restricting access to certain records for the public good.
