This is a reference copy of the Records Disposition Schedule for the Office of Planning, Research and Statistics as approved by the Archives and Records Commission. The Record Copy of this schedule is maintained by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, Archives and Records Management Division.

Records are to be handled in a confidential manner per OAC 340:1-1-20 or as otherwise cited.

All OKDHS records are to be destroyed through a security destruction method as outlined in OKDHS Policy: 2-21-57. Approval to destroy records is obtained from the State Records Administrator prior to their destruction. Records may be destroyed only after OKDHS has received approval to destroy the records from the State Records Administrator.
