Summary
Existing law requires the Director of General Services to establish and administer in the executive branch of state government a records management program. Existing law requires the director to report annually to the Governor on the status and progress of that program. This bill would repeal the requirement that the director submit a report to the Governor. This bill would, commencing January 1, 2014, transfer duties of the director that are related to records management to the Secretary of State. This bill would also transfer persons employed by the Department of General Services in the California Records and Information Management Program, and all equipment and records in the State Records Center in the Department of General Services, to the Secretary of State.
