        (a)  General rule.--The governing authority, after
     consultation with the County Records Committee, shall by general
     rule prescribe schedules setting forth the conditions under
     which the records provided for in Subchapter A (relating to
     establishment, maintenance and effect of judicial records) may
     be disposed of, either with or without the establishment of a
     permanent copy thereof.
        (b)  Requirements for schedules.--Such schedules shall
     distinguish clearly between records of temporary value and
     records of permanent value, and no schedule shall be prescribed
     or revised which will permit the destruction of records of
     permanent value unless a permanent copy thereof is required to
     be maintained as provided in this subchapter. Such schedules
     insofar as they affect the records maintained by related staff,
     shall be consistent with the schedules prescribed by the County
     Records Committee.
