What is GRAMA?

In 1991, the Utah Legislature enacted the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) under Title 63G, Chapter 2 of the Utah Code, giving the public the right to access information.

Fee:
  • $15.00 per report requested up to 50 pages and $.25 per page after 50 pages.
  • $34.00 per 5 gig for body cam video request.
  • Additional costs may be assessed upon processing a request.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What 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.
2What are private, controlled and protected records?
A private record generally relates to an individual's private interests and disclosure of such to the public would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy. A record is considered "controlled" if it contains medical, psychiatric or psychological data about an individual. Protected records include, but are not limited to, open and ongoing investigations.
3Who can initiate a GRAMA request?
Any person can make a public records request. However, public disclosure is regulated by several different statutes dependent upon the record. If you are the subject of the record (i.e., arrestee or victim), you may be entitled to information not available to the general public.
4What types of police records may be available?
  • Chronological logs (also known as complaint logs or service calls)
  • Initial contact reports
  • Photographs
  • Traffic accident reports
Depending upon the status of the case, these records may not be available at the time of your request.
5What is the time limit for a response 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.
