The procedures shall ensure the retention of the agency’s electronic records until a disposition period has been approved by the state archivist, the attorney general, the commissioner of administration, and the agency head [2.2]. Electronic records must be stored in non-magnetic containers that are resistant to impact, dust intrusion, and moisture [2.2].
