R State Bill Limits Open Records

Legislation in Missouri wants to limit access to open records when  there is no “substantial administrative or operational value” that includes health and safety, security and more. Opponents say “This legislation is designed to effectively cripple citizens’ ability to gain a thorough understanding of what their government is doing.” SB 174 (2023 | MO)
