Re: Open records legislation



I found information about the state of Missouri and other states at the
Freedom of Information center website http://web.missouri.edu/~foiwww/. I
was not able to find anything about a specific time frame that documents had
to remain closed. Here are the documents that I did find.

The posting earlier today of Colorado's open records act prompts me to ask,
especially of other archivists for state governments, do any of your open
records laws have a specific date for termination of privacy?  Texas' open
records opinions make it clear that privacy terminates with death, but that
is really (!) hard to administer.  What I'm wondering is if there are state
laws out there that say the "closed because of personal privacy
restrictions" documents may be opened xx years after date of creation?  If
any can say, "Yes," I'd appreciate the citation.
