The Government Records Access Management Act (GRAMA), Title 63G Chapter 2 of the Utah Code, is the records law for the State of Utah. GRAMA defines what a record is and establishes the criteria for accessing government records. Salt Lake County Health Department complies with GRAMA under Salt Lake County Records Management Ordinance 2.82 .
What is a public record?
As defined in Utah Code Ann. § 63G-2-103, public record means a record that is not private, controlled, or protected and is prepared, owned, received or retained by the governmental entity.
Records requested must be able to be reproduced from the original record—state law does not require an agency to create a record (such as compiling, organizing, or otherwise manipulating data) to fulfill a request. GRAMA applies only to existing records.
What is the time limit for responding to a GRAMA request?
A governmental entity has ten (10) business days after receiving a written request to provide the record, deny the request, or notify the requester that it cannot immediately provide a response due to extraordinary circumstances. Extraordinary circumstances may require more processing time.
