Introducing a new template: Data Governance Ordinance

This resource was designed to help political subdivisions quickly establish a clear, compliant foundation for responsible data governance. Built around core privacy principles and aligned with GDPA, GRAMA, and DARSMGS, this template helps you formalize how personal data is collected, used, protected, and managed, without starting from scratch.

  • Provides records access language for entities without an established GRAMA process
  • Defines clear purposes, safeguards, and accountability measures
  • Supports transparency and public trust through consistent data practices
  • Easy to adapt to your organization’s structure and needs
