December 9th, 2024
The Records and Information Management Division plays a vital role in preserving essential information and helping to ensure continuity and accountability in government. In addition to being responsible for storing, preserving and disposing of public documents generated by state and local governments, the division maintains the State Records Center. State law requires state and local governments to preserve public documents according to official retention schedules. Each agency is responsible for notifying the records center when documents are eligible for disposal. A State Records Committee and a Local Government Records Committee must approve all disposal requests.
