An Act regarding information governance

This bill requires state agencies and municipalities in Massachusetts to create and follow a formal information governance plan for managing their documents and data. The plan must include specific protocols for storing, naming, securing, and disposing of records while ensuring compliance with state retention schedules. It also mandates that these plans be made public, with the exception of any parts protected by legal privileges like attorney-client confidentiality. The Attorney General is assigned the responsibility of enforcing these new requirements.
