This bill modernizes the state archives system to include digital images.  WAM will monitor this bill and work with the State archives staff to understand if this imposes an undue burden on digitizing records from municipalities to the state archives. Also WAM and WAMCAT members are evaluating the bill to determine if a certain type of software will be required and which impose additional costs.

WAM ACTION: 2/21/17, bill passed House COW on third reading consent list.
