§ 94-38. Transfer of permanently valuable records.
Active records shall be maintained by the issuing department, agency, board, or commission in storage space provided by the agency for the legally mandated period of three years. Records that are older than three years shall be disposed of according to retention schedules prepared and maintained by the city archives or as may be ordered by the state archivist. Disposition of records not included on the retention schedules shall be determined by the responsible agency head in consultation with the city archives staff. Those records deemed to be of permanent value shall be transferred to the city archives for archival retention and preservation. Records deemed not to be of permanent value are to be destroyed or otherwise disposed of within the limits outlined in section 94-37 of this article. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as overriding the provisions of the Louisiana Public Records Law.
