DESCRIPTION
This proposal creates the "State Board of Public Records" (Board). The Board is located in the Office of Administration and develops recommendations to monitor compliance of Missouri's Sunshine Law (Chapter 610, RSMo). The Board has subpoena power to view all records. The Board will also determine if a central office dealing with citizen complaints is necessary.
The Board shall be comprised of seven members to be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. No more than four members may be of the same political party. Board members will not receive compensation, but will be reimbursed for necessary and actual expenses. The Board shall meet at least twice a year.
This proposal is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
