Sec. 15.
(a) A public official who has the custody of any records, excluding personal records, shall at the expiration of the public official's term of office or appointment, deliver to the public official's successor, or to the administration if there is no successor, all materials defined as records by this chapter.
(b) Upon the termination of a state agency or local government whose functions have not been transferred to another agency or local government the records of the state agency or local government shall be deposited with the administration. The administration shall determine which records are of sufficient legal, historical, administrative, research or fiscal value to warrant their continued preservation. Records that are determined to be of insufficient value to warrant continued preservation shall be disposed of or destroyed.
