Existing law, the State Records Management Act, generally requires the head of a state agency to establish and maintain an active, continuing program for the economical and efficient management of the records and information collection practices of the agency. The act requires the Secretary of State to determine, among other things, whether a record held by a state agency has archival value, as defined, and requires a record deemed to have archival value to be transferred to the State Archives. The act requires the Secretary of State to enforce all statutory requirements regarding the confidentiality of records transferred to the State Archives and to make the records available to authorized individuals or the public, as determined by applicable law.
This bill would revise and recast the duties of the head of a state agency and the Secretary of State to determine and transfer a record deemed to have archival value.
