What is "GRAMA"? - The Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) is a comprehensive law dealing with management of government records, with who is entitled to access to those records, and with the exercise and enforcement of access rights. It is an attempt to balance the public's constitutional right of access to information concerning the conduct of the public's business, the individual's constitutional right of privacy in relation to personal data gathered by governmental entities, and the public policy interest in allowing government to restrict access to certain records for the public good.
How does GRAMA work? - GRAMA establishes record classifications. To protect individual privacy, GRAMA allows certain records to be classified as "private" or "controlled". Records to which access may be restricted for the public good are classified as "protected". Access to a record depends on its classification.
GRAMA applies to government records. What is a record? - The definition of a "record" is broad and includes anything that provides information in a documentary form. Letters, memos and reports on paper are obviously documents, but so are photographs, tape recordings, maps and information stored electronically, as on a computer disc.
