State Agency Schedules
Below are printable (PDF) listings of State Agency and other schedules. If you require the Schedules in a different format, need a more recent version, or require a printout for a specific unit within the Department, please contact Records Management and they will be emailed to you.
These retention schedules apply to records regardless of their physical format. Therefore, records created or maintained in electronic format would also fall under these guidelines and must adhere to the minimum retention requirements of these schedules. (For example: Any schedules written for "correspondence" could pertain to either paper, email, or other electronic documents.)
Schedules will be updated periodically as changes dictate. If Series Reports have an older date, it means no changes have been made to the schedules since that time. If there have been changes and the file has not been updated, please contact Records Management.
