Bill Summary
Currently, the Public Records Board supervises the state's public records management and preservation programs and may set retention schedules for public records. However, the records and correspondence of any member of the legislature are excluded from the definition of “public records” for public records retention purposes. This bill eliminates that exclusion. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
AI Summary
This bill eliminates the exclusion of records and correspondence of any member of the legislature from the definition of "public records" for public records retention purposes. Currently, the Public Records Board supervises the state's public records management and preservation programs and may set retention schedules for public records, but the records and correspondence of legislators were previously excluded from this definition. The bill aims to make the records and correspondence of legislators subject to the same public records management and preservation requirements as other public records.
