Amendment 2 “says nothing about maintaining the confidentiality of the identity or identification of individuals or companies applying for licenses,” he said.

The campaign manager for the group that backed Amendment 2 told the Post-Dispatch last month the wording of the amendment was not intended to close off access to applicants’ identifying information.

“The language was included in Amendment 2 to keep the medical information of patients confidential, as well as sensitive information from applicants, such as security plans and financials, private,” John Payne, campaign manager for New Approach Missouri, said in a statement.

But, he said, “We wouldn’t necessarily expect all of the application to be closed. For instance, we don’t see any reason the name of the applicants wouldn’t be public.”
