PUBLIC RECORDS: Provides for public records involving the security of the governor or his family and recommendations by which governmental decisions and policies are formulated. (8/1/24)

This bill amends the state's public records law to clarify how the governor and specific members of their internal staff must handle official documents. It requires the governor to keep these records during their term but mandates that they be transferred to the Secretary of State's archives division once the governor leaves office. The law defines "internal staff" to include the chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, executive counsel, and director of policy, while explicitly excluding employees from other agencies. Additionally, the bill ensures that any exemptions from public access granted to these records remain in effect after the transfer.
