Copies of state reports retained by the court are governmental records.

• A. Not Addressed
• B. True
• C. False
• D. Not Applicable

Answer: (B)

Government records include documents created or received by government bodies in the course of public business, and a court is a state government entity. Copies of state reports retained by the court are records the government maintains to conduct public business, so they fall under governmental (public) records. While access to such records can be restricted in certain cases (privacy, confidentiality, or sealed matters), the basic classification is that they are governmental records. So the statement is true.

Not addressed or Not Applicable don’t fit because the question asks to classify the nature of these records, and the standard interpretation is that court-maintained state reports are governmental records. False would only be correct if courts did not treat them as governmental records, which isn’t the case in typical public-records frameworks.
