SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Public Records Act; electronic records. Updates the Public Records Act to include provisions relating to the management and archiving of electronic records. The bill creates new definitions for electronic records, lifecycle, metadata, conversion, and migration, and amends the powers and duties of the Library Board to be medium-neutral and to allow the Library to issue regulations and guidelines related to the lifecycle of records, generally. The bill requires the custodians of records to convert and migrate electronic data as necessary to maintain access to these records. Finally, the bill allows the Library to conduct audits of the record keeping practices of agencies subject to the act, and to file the audit reports with the Governor and the General Assembly. The bill also includes numerous technical amendments. This bill is a recommendation of the HJR 6 study (2004).
