State Records Commission

The State Records Commission was established in 1965 by RSMo109.250, Missouri's Public and Business Records Law. Its task is to guide the records management program in the determination of retention periods for all records in the executive branch of state government. Currently more than 865 state agencies, commissions, bureaus, and boards operate under approved records retention schedules as well as the Missouri General Retention Schedule (GRS). Additionally, the commission reviews, approves, and recommends guidelines for the management of electronic records generated by the State of Missouri. The Commission is chaired by the Secretary of State and consists of the executive director of the State Historical Society, the Attorney General or designee, the State Auditor or designee, a state representative, a state senator, the state chief information officer, and the state archivist, who serves as the commission secretary.
