A Mississippi Redaction Request is a formal request to a public body in the state of Mississippi to redact (remove) certain information from a public record. This type of request is generally used to protect a person’s privacy rights, for example, when the public record contains confidential information such as Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, or other personal information. There are two types of Mississippi Redaction Requests: an “active” request, which requires the public body to actively redact the information from the public record, and a “passive” request, which requires the public body to remove the record from public view. In either case, the public body must provide written confirmation that the redaction request has been honored.
