Any public entity may adopt and use an optical data storage process for the storage of records by optical disk mediums when the use of the process is consistent with good records management practices. The state records administrator may prescribe such practices, except for specialized commercial databases such as those used in libraries. As used in this chapter, an optical data storage process includes the optical disk software and hardware used in that process and the records stored by that process after the entity involved has established a records management program with respect to optical data storage.
