Bill > SB1340

This bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 39-101 to allow permanent public records to be kept on digital media in addition to paper or other durable materials, provided the digital medium meets standards set by the director of the Arizona state library, archives, and public records, which will be considered of durable or permanent quality. It also clarifies that permanent public records transcribed or kept in these formats must be stored according to established standards. Furthermore, the bill permits public officers to destroy original paper records after creating a certified compliant digital copy and completing any necessary notification procedures. Violating these provisions remains a class 2 misdemeanor.
