JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Missouri Senate has voted to keep some public safety and utility documents closed to the public.

After the September 11th attacks, Missouri created new exceptions to its open-records law out of fear that terrorists could get access to sensitive information.

State lawmakers closed records about security systems and structural plans for public buildings. They also closed similar records by private utilities.

Additionally, lawmakers closed law enforcement and public health records describing their policies for responding to or preventing dangerous situations.

Those closed-record provisions are due to expire at the end of 2008.

The Senate bill would keep them closed through 2012 and now goes
to the House.
