Jefferson City, MO – Missouri's Homeland Security adviser, Tim Daniel, says the state's open records' law needs another exception.
He says the security plans of private entities, like nuclear power plants, should not be publicly available after they share that information with state government.
Daniel says there are similar provisions for private security information shared with the federal Department of Homeland Security.
One of the highest-profile businesses to be covered by the proposal is the Callaway nuclear power plant. Daniel says the Sunshine Law exception also would apply to more than 65 privately owned facilities deemed critical assets by the state.
Republican state Senator John Griesheimer of Washington, Mo. plans to sponsor a bill making the change.
