RULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
The purpose for the rule is to provide information about requests and appeals to the Attorney General's Office under the Government Records Access and Management Act (Sections 63G-2-101 through 63G-2-901). The purpose for this amendment is to update that information to reflect changes in the Attorney General's Office, and to clarify language.
Summary of the rule or change:
The proposed rule changes the name and address of the GRAMA contact, and changes addresses where an appeal should be directed. It also adds language clarifying that, by statute, a requester must seek certain records from the Attorney General's client agencies. Finally, it eliminates language stating that many records of the Attorney General's Office are private or protected; while that continues to be true, it is unnecessary to have that information in a rule.
