LAC 10:XVII.901. Non-Depository Records Retention

A. Each non-depository person subject to the supervision of the Office of Financial Institutions shall retain such minimum records which are deemed necessary for the examination and supervision of such persons by this office and for such minimum retention periods as determined by the commissioner and set forth in a "record retention schedule" to be detailed in policy which may be amended from time to time as necessary. This rule does not replace the person's responsibility to create, implement, and maintain its own comprehensive record retention program, consistent with the person's strategic goals and objectives. Such records may be retained in various forms as approved by the commissioner, including but not limited to, hard copies, photocopies, computer printouts or microfilm, microfiche, imaging, or other types of electronic media storage that can be readily accessed and reproduced into hard copies. B. For purposes of this rule, non-depository persons refers to any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity, other than those considered by the commissioner to be depository institutions, such as banks, savings associations, credit unions and savings banks, or those persons under his jurisdiction pursuant to the Louisiana Securities Law. Non-depository includes, but is not limited to, residential mortgage lenders, brokers, and originators, bond for deed escrow agents, check cashers, licensed lenders, loan brokers, and pawnbrokers.
