[Massplanners] digitization/destruction of records

[Barbara Carboni]

All,

I have learned I cannot gleefully dispose of file contents just yet.  It looks like there is an approval process with Secretary of State office.  This is from a FAQ on the Sec. of State's website.

My records have reached the full retention period. What do I do now?
Once records have reached their full retention period, you can apply for permission to destroy these records. If you are working with Municipal Records, complete this form<https://www.sec.state.ma.us/arc/arcpdf/RMU/rmu2.pdf> and submit it to the Supervisor of Public Records at rmu at sec.state.ma.us<mailto:rmu at sec.state.ma.us>.
