The Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) is a comprehensive law dealing with management of government records (Reference UCA 63G-2). GRAMA states who has access to records and how the law is enforced. It is an attempt to balance the public’s constitutional right of access to information concerning public business, the individual’s constitutional right of privacy when the government gathers personal data, and the public policy interest in allowing a government to restrict access to certain records for the public good.
