An Act relating to public access to historical records

HD 2795 requires the state secretary to make historical records related to people with intellectual/developmental disabilities or mental health conditions publicly accessible after 75 years from their creation. This applies specifically to records accessioned from state institutions for these populations. The bill mandates that these records be open for public inspection and copying following the 75-year period, without requiring additional approval. It directly affects how the state manages and shares these historical documents. The change modifies existing law to establish a clear, automatic access timeline for these specific records.
