Rule 9.262 Record Retention

The Judicial Tenure Commission must have a written plan for handling its records. This plan explains what records need to be kept, how long each type of record must be saved, and how records should be properly thrown away or destroyed when the time comes.

This rule matters because it keeps the commission organized and accountable. Having a clear policy means records about judges and complaints are handled the same way every time, and nothing is kept longer than necessary or deleted too soon.
