State Records Committee

In 1977, the Montana Legislature recognized the importance of preserving and properly disposing of public records. That year, it created a State Records Committee and assigned it the task of monitoring record retention and disposal. No public record may be disposed of without the approval of the committee.

Members of the State Records Committee are:

  • Pat Boles, Department of Administration

  • Patti Borsberry, Secretary of State’s Office

  • Deborah Butler, Legislative Audit Division

  • Jodie Foley, Montana Historical Society

  • Greg Noose, Attorney General’s Office

The committee meets at least quarterly. To submit a request for disposal, complete Disposal Request Form RM 5 and deadhead or mail a signed original form to:
