HB 744 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes provisions governing duties and responsibilities of public entities

HB 744 creates an online "Missouri Accountability Portal" requiring public entities - including school districts, public charter schools, and higher education institutions - to publicly share detailed financial data daily. This includes tracking all government spending (purchases, bonds, employee pay), debt, and revenue streams, with data updated daily and searchable by fund or amount. The bill also grants parents specific rights to access school curricula, teacher information, student records, safety incident reports, and school contracts, while mandating schools to develop policies supporting these rights by the 2026-27 school year. It directly affects school districts, public entities, and parents of students in Missouri public schools.
