In Utah, GRAMA refers to the Government Records Access and Management Act, a state law that grants the public the right to access government records while also allowing for the restriction of certain information to protect privacy or public policy interests. 

People can submit a GRAMA request to any Utah government entity to obtain public records, though certain records classified as “private,” “protected,” or “controlled” may not be released without a specific exception or court order.

GRAMA is essentially Utah’s open records law, which is analogous to the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Perfect. Just how decisions should be made, don’t you think? (Huge amount of sarcasm there … )
