Records Management Liaison Officers

Every agency is required to appoint a Records Management Liaison Officer (RMLO) to serve as the primary point of contact between the agency and the Division's records management program (257.36(5)(a), Florida Statutes).

To appoint an RMLO, an agency needs to submit an appointment form [available versions: MS Word (75.0 KB), Adobe PDF (173 KB)] to the Division under signature of the records custodian indicating who the RMLO for the agency will be. Because the RMLO is in close contact with the Division, he or she will be an important source of information about Division policies and procedures within your agency.

The RMLO might perform a variety of records management functions as assigned by the records custodian, including inventorying agency records; working with the Division to establish new records retention schedules and to ensure the appropriate disposition of records eligible for destruction; training and advising agency staff in records management practices; participating in agency decision-making for issues such as microfilming, imaging, storage, and disposal; responding to public questions regarding agency records and records management practices; and reporting annually to the Division regarding the agency's compliance with records management statutes and rules.

For more on the responsibilities of the RMLO, please see the handbook "The Basics of Records Management" (129KB PDF). Please contact us for additional information.
