MO HB2473

Incident and investigative reports involving suicide, attempted suicide, rape, sexual assault, or other sexual offenses under Chapter 566 are permanently classified as closed records not subject to public disclosure

Suicide/attempted suicide records may be released to the subject of the report, their parent/guardian if a minor or incapacitated, or to family members within the second degree if the person died by suicide

Medical records related to sexual offenses may only be released to the reported victim, or their parent/guardian if the victim is a minor or incapacitated

Law enforcement agencies that intentionally disclose protected reports lose sovereign immunity and face liability for compensatory damages; negligent violations subject officers to discipline by the Police Officer Standards and Training Commission under Chapter 590

Law enforcement may release suicide-related information without consent if immediately necessary to preserve an individual's health and safety or public welfare
