Sec. 5600.5. Fees for services

(a) It is the policy of the corporation to provide routine information and to permit public inspection of records without charge. Fees may be charged in the following situations:

(1) reproduction, duplication, or copying of records; and

(2) where a fee is otherwise prescribed by law.

(b) Records will be photocopied by the corporation if practicable. The person requesting a copy will be charged a fee of 25 cents per page for copies not exceeding 9 by 14 inches, or the actual cost of reproducing such records if larger copies are required. If it is not practicable for the corporation to photocopy any such record, it will be copied commercially and the person requesting the copy will be charged a fee equal to the cost of such commercial reproduction.

(c) Any fee charged by the corporation pursuant to this Part shall be paid, by the person making the request, by certified check or bank cashier's check or, in the sole discretion of the corporation, by cash, in advance of the delivery of copies of any record referred to in this Part.
