Section 106-276-060. Designation of public records officers.

(1) In accordance with the requirements of chapter 42.17 RCW, insofar as such initiative requires state agencies to adopt and enforce reasonable rules and regulations to provide full public access to official divisions while yet protecting the same from damage and to prevent excessive interference with essentials of the agency, all public records at the university shall be in the charge of persons holding positions as records officers.

(2) Overall responsibility for coordinating responses to requests for examination of public records shall be the responsibility of the person known as the "public records officer." The person holding such position will be headquartered in Mitchell Hall at the university. The exact location and name of the public records officer may be determined by inquiry at the office of the president of the university. The public records officer shall also be responsible for compiling and maintaining the index required by chapter 42.17 RCW.

(3) In cases where a question arises as to whether a given public record is the responsibility of one records custodian or another, the determination of such ministerial responsibility shall for the purposes of this chapter be made by the public records officer, or the president of the university.
