Indiana § 5-15-5.1-17

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 5: STATE AND LOCAL ADMINISTRATION
• Art. 15: PRESERVATION OF PUBLIC RECORDS
• Ch. 5.1: Indiana Archives and Records Administration

Text

(a) A state or local government official may
turn over to the administration, in accordance with existing records
retention schedules or a written agreement consistent with the rules of
the administration for permanent preservation, any official books,
records, documents, original papers, newspaper files, or printed books
or materials not in current use in the official's office.
(b) Subject to subsection (c), the administration may make a copy
of any official book, record, document, original paper, newspaper, or
printed book or material of any local government office for
preservation in the state archives. Local government officials shall
permit such copies to be made of the books, records, documents, and
papers in their respective offices.
(c) The administration shall copy the official copy of the rules
(including incorporated matters filed under IC 4-22-2-21) published
under IC 4-22-2. Any duplicate original copy possessed by another
agency is not a critical record and may not be copied. If the publisher
prepares micrographic copies of these documents and the copies are in
a form that meets the specifications of the administration, the
administration shall arrange with the publisher to obtain the number of
copies needed by the administration, rather than copying the documents
as part of a separate program.
