69III. THE STATUTE – CHAPTER 92F
PART I. GENERAL PROVISIONS
How Should the UIPA Be Interpreted?
The Legislature pronounced that it is the policy of this state to
conduct government business as openly as possible while protecting
the right of privacy embodied in our state constitution.
Thus, Part I of the UIPA requires that the UIPA be applied and
construed to promote its underlying purposes and policies, which
are:
(1)
To promote the public interest in disclosure;
(2)
To provide for accurate, relevant, timely, and
complete records;
(3)
To enhance government accountability;
(4)
To make government accountable to individuals in
the collection, use, and dissemination of information
relating to them; and
(5)
To balance the individual privacy interest and the
public interest, allowing access unless disclosure
would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion
of personal privacy.
Given this direction that the UIPA be interpreted to promote open
government, any doubt regarding disclosure of a record should
likely be resolved in favor of access.
