[edit] GRAMA legislation

"Utah has one of the nation's best open records laws. The Government Records Access and Management Act has many important features, but chief among them is the presumption that documents are presumed to be open unless they meet certain criteria.

GRAMA was nearly altered during the current legislative session in such a way that the public would have lost access to some important information related to their cities, school districts and county governments. House Bill 122, sponsored by Rep. Douglas Aagard, R-Kaysville, would have made it easier for municipalities to deny access to records by classifying them as being related to "pending or anticipated litigation.""
