HB 2466 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Makes the addresses of state elected officials confidential and not public records

HB 2466 would expand confidentiality protections for government records by adding 20 specific categories where public records can be kept private, including personnel decisions, legal discussions, security information, and real estate transactions. It directly affects state elected officials and government bodies by allowing them to withhold certain records (like employee performance details or security plans) from public disclosure, though some records must be released within 72 hours or after specific events (e.g., after a lease is signed). Key mechanisms include requiring written justifications for closing records and mandating disclosure of settlement amounts in legal cases or final personnel decisions. The bill does not specifically address official addresses, as its title suggests, but instead broadly modifies public records exemptions under state law. This would shift transparency practices for many government operations without altering voting records or fiscal policies.
