TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY, RELATING TO STANDARDS FOR FACILITIES IN WHICH SOUTH CAROLINA PUBLIC RECORDS ARE STORED AND MAINTAINED, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 1503, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Department of Archives and History, relating to Standards for Facilities in which South Carolina Public Records are Stored and Maintained, designated as Regulation Document Number 1503, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
These regulations govern the standards for facilities in which the public records of South Carolina are housed. They define minimum, low-cost standards for providing the most basic care and protection for public records. The standards apply to (1) existing structures which may need little or no work in order to provide proper records storage, and (2) new construction and renovations of facilities specifically designed for records. The standards address building construction and maintenance; temperature and humidity conditions; fire detection and suppression; protection against water damage from flooding, roof leaks or burst pipes; insect and rodent control; and protection from theft and vandalism.
