Department of Administration rule relating to retention and disposal scheduling

SB 302 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Administration to implement a rule (148 CSR 13) that establishes standardized schedules for how long state agencies must retain and when they may dispose of public records. This rule applies to all state agencies handling public records, requiring them to follow specific timeframes for keeping documents and destroying non-essential records. The rule was previously filed on March 27, 2024, and this bill formally authorizes its implementation.
