HB 59 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Adds an exemption to the sunshine law for state parks records

HB 59 amends Missouri's sunshine law to create a new exemption specifically for state parks records, allowing certain park-related information to be kept confidential from the public. This change directly affects state parks management agencies and limits public access to operational or planning records about state parks. The bill adds this exemption to a broader list of 20 existing categories (such as legal proceedings, real estate transactions, and employee records) that can be closed under specific conditions. However, the provided text does not detail the exact circumstances under which state parks records may be closed, only that they are now included in the exemption list.
