RDA 2307 is a request to revise an RDA. The retention period will change from one hundred years and destroy to permanent. The format will change to paper/electronic. The Title, Abstract, Cut Off, Disposition, and Worksheet have all been updated. The records series will remain in agency due to the confidential nature of the investigative records. Recommend approval of request to revise RDA 2307.
