JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri State Representative Rudy Veit will serve on the State Records Commission after being appointed to serve as the House representative by Speaker Elijah Haahr.
The State Records Commission, established in 1965, for the purpose of commission reviewing, approving, and recommending guidelines for the management of electronic records generated by the State of Missouri. Currently more than 865 state agencies, commissions, bureaus, and boards operate under approved records retention schedules as well as the Missouri General Retention Schedule (GRS).
The Commission is chaired by the Secretary of State and consists of the executive director of the State Historical Society, the Attorney General or designee, the State Auditor or designee, a state representative, a state senator, the state chief information officer, and the state archivist, who serves as the commission secretary.
“I want to thank Speaker Haahr for this honor and for the opportunity to serve on this commission,” Veit, R-Wardsville, said. “In this day and age, accountability is key for an open and transparent government, and I look forward to helping to ensure that our records are kept safe and open to all.”
Veit serves as the state representative for the 59th House District, which represents parts of Cole and Miller counties. He was elected to his first two-year term in the Missouri House of Representatives in November 2018.
