Any person wishing to request access to public records of the Mississippi Ethics Commission or seeking assistance in making such a request should contact the public records officer of the Mississippi Ethics Commission by addressing the request to the “Public Records Officer, Executive Director or Assistant Director.” The subject line or cover sheet of a written request should include the phrase “Request for Public Records.” Information is also available at the Ethics Commission’s web site listed above. The public records officer will oversee compliance with the act but another Ethics Commission staff member may process the request. Therefore, these rules will refer to the public records officer "or designee." The public records officer or designee and the Ethics Commission will provide the "fullest assistance" to requestors; ensure that public records are protected from damage or disorganization; and prevent fulfilling public records requests from causing excessive interference with essential functions of the Ethics Commission.
