HB 2203 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes requirements for physical copies of a municipal code a municipal clerk keeps on file

HB 2203 requires municipalities to maintain physical copies of their local laws (municipal code) for public access. Specifically, if a city's ordinances are not available online for free, it must keep at least three printed copies at the municipal clerk's office during business hours. If the code is already freely available online, the municipality only needs to keep one physical copy on file for public inspection. This bill directly affects municipal clerks' offices and ensures consistent public access to local government records.
