AB164,,22An Act to repeal 16.61 (2) (b) 1. of the statutes; relating to: management and preservation of records and correspondence of members of the legislature. AB164,,33Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.
