FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator _e
DATE: May 31, 1989 ra c-Uoff
SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 1025 (Pringle)
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of AB 1025 by Assemblyman Pringle which would allow a court
to record case documents on electronic imaging equipment and then destroy the original document.
BACKGROUND:
Under existing law the County Clerk may destroy all papers and records of the Superior Court where
an action is no longer pending or on appeal. In addition,the Clerk of the Municipal Court is permitted
to record documents of the Court on electronic imaging equipment and destroy the original records
under certain circumstances or upon order of the presiding judge.
Assemblyman Pringle has introduced AB 1025 which, as amended May 1, 1989, would authorize
the County Clerk on behalf of the Superior Court or the Clerk of the Municipal Court to record any
court document on electronic imaging equipment at any time and then destroy the original document.
This procedure,which does not allow any alteration to the original document,would allow the court
to continue to access records as needed but would save considerable storage space which is presently
required in order to maintain original documents.
As a substantial effeciency measure,AB 1025 deserves the support of the Board of Supervisors. The
Municipal Court Administrator has recommended support forAB 1025 and this office concurs with
that recommendation.
