Are there any laws other than Chapter 610, RSMo, to be aware of when determining whether a record is open or closed?
Yes. These other laws are generally referenced in Section 610.021 (14) of the Sunshine Law. Closed records not described in Section 610.021 include, but are not limited to: • HIV testing records – Section 191.656 • Tax returns – Section 32.057 • Qualification to carry a concealed weapon – Section 571.101.9 • Many juvenile records – Section 211.321 • Mental health treatment records – Section 630.140 • Genetic information Section 375.1309 • Adoption records – Section 453.120 and Section 453.121 Records also may be closed under federal law. For example, educational agencies or institutions may lose federal funding if they release education records or personally identifiable information of students without their parents’ written consent (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 U.S.C. 1232g).
