SB1418

Missouri SB1418 restricts public access to certain criminal offense records on statewide court automation systems.

Missouri SB1418 amends Chapter 476 by adding a new section, 476.1020, which limits public access to official court records of cases involving reportable offenses or ordinance violations through statewide court automation systems. These records are generally not accessible to the public but can be made available to those physically present at a courthouse or to specific authorized individuals such as court personnel, law enforcement agencies, judges, prosecutors, a defendant's attorney, or others deemed necessary by the court.
