S 2207 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act regarding information governance

SD 2206 requires all state agencies and municipalities to create and maintain an "information governance plan" (IG plan) for managing all documents and data, regardless of format or whether they are public records. The IG plan must include protocols for storage, naming, privacy, security, routine disposal, halting disposal when needed, and data sharing. These plans must comply with the state's official records retention schedule and be made public, with legally protected portions (like those covered by attorney-client privilege) redacted. The Attorney General enforces this requirement, which standardizes document management across state and local government entities.
