Archived Content Definition

Some documents are exempt from the new requirement, specifically older archived documents. Documents can be considered archived only if they meet all the following criteria:

1. Creation Date

   Was the content created before the relevant compliance deadline (April 24, 2026), or does it reproduce older physical media?

2. Purpose

   Is it strictly for reference, research, or record keeping, and not for current programs, services, or public communication?

3. Location

   Is it in a dedicated area clearly labeled as an archive (e.g., "Archived Content," "Historical Documents")?

4. Immutability

   Has it been altered or updated since it was archived? If yes, it's no longer considered archived.
