To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Missouri Sunshine Law and the Missouri Public Records Law, I am making a public records request.
Missouri's statute concerning Vital Statistics states in Section 193.245.1:
"It shall be unlawful for any person to permit inspection of, or to disclose information contained in, vital records or to copy or issue a copy of all or part of any such record except as authorized by this law and by regulation or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or in the following situations:
(1) A listing of persons who are born or who die on a particular date may be disclosed upon request, but no information from the record other than the name and the date of such birth or death shall be disclosed;"
(Online reference: http://www.moga.mo.gov/mostatutes/stathtml/19300002451.html)
Based on that statute, I would like to order such a listing, covering all persons who died in the state of Missouri between January 1, 1910 and December 31, 2015, inclusive. Please note that this is a request for just the basic index to the deaths, and is not a request for any actual death certificates. If it is possible, I ask that the Department of Health and Senior Services also include each person's sex and death certificate number as part of the data in the index.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Brooke Schreier Ganz
