Section 610.024

Title XXXIX CONDUCT OF PUBLIC BUSINESS

Chapter 610

Effective - 28 Aug 1993   

  610.024.  Public record containing exempt and nonexempt materials, nonexempt to be made available — deleted exempt materials to be explained, exception. — 1.  If a public record contains material which is not exempt from disclosure as well as material which is exempt from disclosure, the public governmental body shall separate the exempt and nonexempt material and make the nonexempt material available for examination and copying.

  2.  When designing a public record, a public governmental body shall, to the extent practicable, facilitate a separation of exempt from nonexempt information.  If the separation is readily apparent to a person requesting to inspect or receive copies of the form, the public governmental body shall generally describe the material exempted unless that description would reveal the contents of the exempt information and thus defeat the purpose of the exemption.
