PURPOSE: This rule establishes standards
for compliance with Chapter 610, RSMo as it
relates to public records of the State Board of
Registration for the Healing Arts.
(1) All public records of the State Board of
Registration for the Healing Arts shall be
open for inspection and copying by the general public at the board’s office during normal business hours, holidays excepted, except
for those records closed pursuant to section
610.021, RSMo. All public meetings of the
State Board of Registration for the Healing
Arts, not closed pursuant to the provisions of
section 610.021, RSMo will be open to the
public.
(2) The State Board of Registration for the
Healing Arts establishes the executive director of the board as the custodian of its records
as required by section 610.023, RSMo. The
executive director is responsible for maintaining the board’s records and for responding to
requests for access to public records and may
appoint deputy custodians as necessary for
the efficient operation of the board.
(3) When a party requests copies of the
records, the board may collect the appropriate fee for costs for inspecting and copying
the records and may require payment of the
fee prior to making the records available (see
20 CSR 2150-3.080).
(4) When the custodian believes that requested access is not required under Chapter 610,
RSMo, the custodian shall inform the
requesting party that compliance cannot be
made, specifying what sections of Chapter
610, RSMo require that the record remain
closed. Correspondence or documentation of
the denial shall be copied to the board’s general counsel. The custodian also shall inform
the requesting party that they may appeal
directly to the board for access to the records
requested. The appeal and all pertinent information shall be placed on the agenda for the
board’s next regularly scheduled meeting. If
the board reverses the decision of the custodian, the board shall direct the custodian to
advise the requesting party and supply access
to the information during regular business
hours at the party’s convenience.
