(a) At the request of the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals or a presiding justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court or the Chief Administrator of the Courts, the director shall review and recommend plans and procedures for the disposition of judicial records in order to identify and insure the preservation of those judicial records which warrant archival retention and administration. In carrying out this function for court records administered by local governments, the director also may consult with the New York State Local Government Records Advisory Council.

(b) Archival records of the Unified Court System may be transferred to the State Archives. Notwithstanding any other provision of these rules, such archival judicial records shall be administered and made available for public use according to conditions mutually agreed upon by the director and the Chief Judge for records of the Court of Appeals; a presiding justice for records of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court; and the Chief Administrator of the Courts for all other records of the Unified Court System.
