Jason,
I am in receipt of your GRAMA request dated December 11, 2023. In the
request you reference a request submitted on July 25, 2023, through the
open portal; however, I do not see that your request was submitted through
the portal. Regardless, I will respond to your December 11 request as soon
as I can. To help me find what you are looking for, I need some information
from you. Why do you believe the records would be housed within the Utah
Department of Health & Human Services (“DHHS”)? Which agency within DHHS do
you think would have the records? I ask because SB287 is not DHHS’ statute,
and the request is seeking enforcement of the statute, including law
enforcement records. Can you help clarify this for me?

Hi, you can exclude the law enforcement aspects of this request. I am requesting this info from DHHS because I am wondering how and if DHHS is involved in any way given that it looks at porn through a health lens and given that DHHS in other states have been involved in other similar statutes.
