Electronic record retention satisfies statutory preservation duties when accessibility, integrity, and essential transmission-identification details are maintained.

Electronic retention satisfies a legal requirement to preserve records for a specified period where the information remains accessible for subsequent reference, is retained in its original format or an accurately representative format, and contains details identifying its origin, destination, and dispatch or receipt time. Automatically generated transmission-enabling information is excluded from the identification-detail requirement. The provision does not apply where another law expressly requires electronic retention.
