(1) As authorized by section 26(3) of chapter 1, Laws of 1973 (Initiative 276), the office claims an exemption from the requirement to maintain an index of current records. The scope of constitutional and statutory responsibilities of the governor may embrace the complete range of public policy, including certain aspects of national, international, interstate, and local policy, and the activities of all agencies and organs of state government. To maintain an index covering the appropriate records as defined in sections 2(24) and 26(2) of chapter 1, Laws of 1973, would impose an undue burden on the office.

(2) All indexes maintained for use of the office shall be made available for public inspection according to the provisions of this chapter.
