What must be received in order to destroy records?

To properly destroy records, written authorization from ARTEMIS is essential. This requirement is in place to ensure that record disposal follows legal and regulatory standards, safeguarding the integrity and availability of public records. ARTEMIS serves as a framework that oversees the management and retention schedules for public records in New Jersey, allowing for an organized and accountable process when it comes to record destruction.

Receiving this authorization ensures that the action of destroying records is documented and validated, providing an official acknowledgment that the records are no longer needed or have met their retention period. This process is crucial in maintaining transparency and accountability in the handling of public records, thereby protecting the interests of the public and the integrity of the governmental record-keeping system.
