Records used in the liquidation of the agency shall be transferred to the State Archivist when the liquidation is completed.
(3) The Governor, the Secretary of State and the State Treasurer shall deposit with the State Archivist for safekeeping in the custody of the State Archivist records of their offices that are used for historical rather than current administrative purposes. [Formerly 358.030; 1991 c.671 §9]
