Sunshine Law and Requests
Missouri’s Sunshine Laws are a commitment to openness by setting forth expectations for public access to meetings and records of public governmental bodies. RSMo 610.011 states, “it is the public policy of this state that meetings, records, votes, actions, and deliberations of public governmental bodies be open to the public unless otherwise provided by law.”
Public meetings, including those conducted by telephone, internet or other electronic means, must be held at reasonably convenient times and be accessible to the public. The law provides guidance for the limited instances when meetings, records and votes may be closed, while stressing that these exceptions are to be strictly interpreted to promote the public policy of openness.
All Sunshine Requests should be submitted via email at info@newmadridcountylibrary.com
Request for records are responded to as soon as possible, and no later than the end of the third business day after receipt of the request. If access cannot be granted immediately, an explanation of the delay and the earliest date and time when the records will be available is provided.
The New Madrid County Library Board will meet at the Library Headquarters on December 18th at 2:00pm
