 1        AN ACT to amend the Local Records Act by changing Section
 2    7.
 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.  The Local Records Act is amended by  changing
 6    Section 7 as follows:
 7        (50 ILCS 205/7) (from Ch. 116, par. 43.107)
 8        Sec. 7.  Disposition rules.  Except as otherwise provided
 9    by  law, no public record shall be disposed of by any officer
10    or agency unless the  written  approval  of  the  appropriate
11    Local Records Commission is first obtained.
12        The  Commission  shall  issue  regulations which shall be
13    binding  on  all  such  officers.  Such   regulations   shall
14    establish  procedures  for  compiling  and  submitting to the
15    Commission lists and schedules of public records proposed for
16    disposal; procedures for the physical  destruction  or  other
17    disposition  of  such  public  records; and standards for the
18    reproduction  of  such  public  records  by  photography  or,
19    microphotographic   processes;   and   standards   for    the
20    reproduction   of   the   public  records  by,  or  digitized
21    electronic format. Such standards shall relate to the quality
22    of the film to be used, preparation of the public records for
23    filming  or  electronic  conversion,  proper   identification
24    matter  on  such  records  so  that an individual document or
25    series of documents can be located on the film  or  digitized
26    electronic form with reasonable facility, and that the copies
27    contain  all  significant  record detail, to the end that the
28    copies will be adequate. The standards relating to  digitized
29    electronic  formatting  shall  not  be  so  restrictive as to
30    unduly prevent officers or agencies from using this method of
31    reproduction.
                            -2-                LRB9010049PTsb
 1        Such  regulations  shall  also  provide  that  the  State
 2    archivist may retain any records  which  the  Commission  has
 3    authorized  to  be  destroyed,  where  they have a historical
 4    value, and that the State archivist may deposit them  in  the
 5    State Library or State Historical Museum or with a historical
 6    society, museum or library.
