Local Government Records Management Fund; allow Department of Archives and History to expend monies in for range of services.

HB 1119 allows Mississippi's Department of Archives and History to spend money from the Local Government Records Management Fund to support counties and municipalities. The fund collects 50 cents from each document filing fee (after counties/municipalities meet a $300 monthly threshold), and the Department would use these funds for records management, historic preservation, and museum services. The bill also establishes a Local Government Records Office within the Department to provide training, set records standards, and create storage guidelines. This bill directly affects local governments (which pay the fee) and the Department of Archives and History (which manages the fund and services).
