AN ACT
To amend chapter 610, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to release of public information.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 610, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 610.060, to read as follows:
610.060. 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, a public governmental body that provides information as required under this section or sells or distributes personal identifying information to a third-party business entity, not-for-profit corporation, or governmental agency shall keep a record of such release or sale of information and provide such record to the office of attorney general upon request.
2. The attorney general shall create a free public information service which shall provide information collected as provided in subsection 1 of this section to any Missouri resident, free of charge. Notice of the availability of such information shall be posted on the attorney general's website.
3. The provisions of this section shall be subject to an appropriation for such purpose.
4. The attorney general may promulgate rules to implement the provisions of this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly under chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2014, shall be invalid and void.
