Sec. 691.010. PUBLIC INFORMATION AND PARTICIPATION; COMPLAINTS. (a) The board shall prepare information of public interest describing the functions of the board and the board's procedures by which complaints are filed with and resolved by the board. The board shall make the information available to the public and appropriate state agencies.
(b) The board by rule shall establish methods by which service recipients can be notified of the name, mailing address, and telephone number of the board for the purpose of directing complaints to the board. The board may provide for that notification by including the information on each written contract relating to bodies willed or donated to an entity regulated by the board or authorized by the board to receive bodies.
(c) The board shall keep an information file about each complaint filed with the board relating to its functions. If a written complaint is filed with the board relating to a person or an entity regulated by the board, the board, at least as frequently as quarterly and until final disposition of the complaint, shall notify the parties to the complaint of the status of the complaint unless notice would jeopardize an undercover investigation.
(d) The board shall develop and implement policies that provide the public with a reasonable opportunity to appear before the board and to speak on any issue under the jurisdiction of the board.
