KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _
Missouri is on the hook for nearly $138,000 in legal fees and expenses after an
appeals court upheld a ruling that the state knowingly violated the open records
law. KCUR-FM reports the Missouri Court of Appeals has determined that the state
ran afoul of the Sunshine Law when the Missouri Department of Health and Human
Services sought to charge a genealogy research group nearly $1.5 million for
state birth and death records dating to 1910. The dispute stems from open
records request in early 2016 by Reclaim the Records, a California-based
nonprofit whose mission is to make public records available online for
genealogical and historical researchers.
