in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law protects official records from California's surveyor general's office. That includes books, papers, documents, seals, stamps, and dies collected under other laws. The Secretary of the Interior must keep them safely archived until the law allows disposal. The Secretary may instead designate another officer to do this. Authenticated copies count as evidence anywhere the originals would.

This section protects and preserves official government records tied to the surveyor general's office in California. It covers all official books, papers, written instruments, documents, archives, official seals, stamps, or dies that other laws required to be collected and deposited in the surveyor general's office in California. The Secretary of the Interior, or another officer the Secretary designates, must keep these records safely and securely in that office's archives, until they are disposed of the way some other law provides. Copies of these records count as evidence in any case where the original document would count as evidence, as long as the Secretary, or the designated officer, authenticates the copy under their official seal.
