Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA)

Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District

The Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) is a Utah state law that governs public access to government records. GRAMA is codified in Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2 and establishes the public’s right to inspect or receive copies of government records, subject to specific legal exceptions.

In addition to public access, GRAMA also governs how government entities create, classify, retain, and protect records in order to balance transparency with privacy, security, and confidentiality requirements.

Response Timelines

GRAMA establishes statutory timeframes for responding to records requests. Response times may vary depending on the classification of the record, the scope of the request, and whether expedited processing is requested.

WFWRD will respond to requests as required by law. Additional time may be necessary for complex requests, records requiring review or redaction, or records held in multiple systems.

Submitting a request does not guarantee access to all requested records. Records may be denied, redacted, or restricted if classified as Private, Controlled, or Protected under GRAMA.

Fees

GRAMA allows government entities to charge reasonable fees to cover the cost of responding to records requests, as permitted by Utah law. Any applicable fees will be communicated prior to fulfillment.
