Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) sets rules for which government documents the public can access, and this bill would adjust several of those classifications. It would clarify that financial records showing how a government agency receives or spends money — including budgets, financial accounts, vouchers, grants, financial reports, general ledgers, and payments to contractors, vendors, or private providers — are public records. At the same time, it would allow government agencies to classify as private any part of a record that shows whether a specific taxpayer receives a property tax exemption, deferral, abatement, or other tax relief. The bill would also remove victim names from the list of information that police "initial contact reports" — the first written account created after a call or incident — are allowed to include, meaning victim names would no longer be a standard part of that public-facing report.
