Who adopts the records retention and disposition schedules?

The highest policy-making body of the judiciary sets and adopts the schedules for how long court records are kept and when they’re disposed of. In Arizona, the Supreme Court has that authority to ensure uniform standards across all courts, so it adopts the records retention and disposition schedules. The Administrative Office of the Courts helps implement and administer those policies, but the actual adoption rests with the Supreme Court. General state public-records laws come from the Legislature, and the Governor does not adopt court-specific retention schedules.
