Legislative victory in 2009 gives Bar a goal for 2010

Fresh off the success of finally passing an omnibus judiciary bill in 2009, one of The Missouri Bar's top legislative priorities for 2010 is to fix an unforeseen glitch from last year's good intentions.

The omnibus bill, which Gov. Jay Nixon signed into law, included a long-sought-after provision redacting Social Security numbers and other identification information in certain court documents.

Catherine Barrie, senior legislative counsel for the bar, said it was a step in the right direction to protect citizens' privacy. However, the bill had the unintended consequence of interfering with garnishment enforcement.
