In state government schedules are considered current for five years unless amended sooner due to a significant change in an agency’s record keeping practices. A change of mission, added functions, new programs, etc. would all trigger an amendment to an existing schedule. Regardless of any amendments, a new schedule must be prepared and approved after five years to ensure the schedule accurately and completely reflects the agency’s records holdings and disposition. Renewing schedules more frequently is always an option, and is required in some states. Local government agencies should adopt whatever cycle is most practical within their jurisdiction
