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    Is it in a dedicated area clearly labeled as an archive (e.g., "Archived Content," "Historical Documents")?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