The third business day. Every request for a Missouri public record has to be acted on as soon as possible, and no later than the end of the third business day after the custodian receives it. Records asked for in a format are provided in it where it is available.
If access is denied, the custodian provides on request a written statement of the grounds, citing the specific provision of law, by the end of the third business day after that request.
