  Notwithstanding any  other  provisions  of  law  except  as  hereinafter
  provided,  the  chief  administrator  of the courts, with the advice and
  consent of the administrative board of the  courts,  shall  adopt  rules
  providing for the retention and disposition of records in all courts and
  agencies of the unified court system, including records of commissioners
  of  jurors. Such rules shall provide, among other things, that, unless a
  permanent record by microphotography or  other  method  of  microimaging
  first  is  made  and  permanently  retained,  judgment  rolls  and other
  records, books and papers that affect the mental illness or  the  sanity
  or  competency of any person shall be retained for at least fifty years;
  and that the judgment rolls and other records,  books  and  papers  that

  or  control  of  the  district  attorney which are more than twenty-five
