R590-151-3. Rule.
A. Making a Request for Access to Records.
- (1) All record requests made under the provisions of GRAMA shall be made in writing and

- (2) The department's response may be delayed if a submitted request does not comply with
the requirements of Subsection (1).

if the records requested are public and readily accessible, or for other good cause shown.
B. Appeals From Initial Decisions.
All appeals from an initial decision by the department, which denies access to a record,
shall be addressed to the insurance commissioner and shall conform to the requirements of
Section 63-2-401. The authority to order disclosure or nondisclosure is delegated to the
head of the division which maintains the record or to any other person the commissioner

for appeal has expired shall be denied. These types of records shall be maintained in
their original form to protect the public interest and the integrity of the Administrative
Records. Section 63-2-603, shall not apply.
