In 1993, a reappraisal of both annual financial reports and registration statements of charitable organizations produced a change in retention and disposition schedules. Subsequently (Chapter 83, Laws of 1995), the functions of the Department of State's Office of Charities Registration were transferred in toto to the Department of Law.
As a result, annual financial reports (post-1992) were designated as non-archival and the Department of Law was authorized (by RDA 19456) to destroy them after three years. Registration statements were designated as archival, with transfer to the State Archives authorized (by RDA 19457) six years after the registration was "closed" (cancelled or expired).
