  • (a)   Amounts payable. The following are the fees that shall be charged by the Department for copying and/or mechanical reproduction of public records and for the search for public records requested by the public pursuant to the Open Records Act and Section1-612 of the Securities Act; provided, however, no record search and/or copying charge shall be assessed against officers or employees of the Department who make requests which are reasonably necessary to the performance of their official duties:
    (1)   Inspection fees. No fee shall be charged for inspection of a public record in the offices of the Department.
    (2)   Copying Fees. Any person requesting copies of public records shall pay the fees specified in Section 1-612 of the Securities Act prior to receipt of the records.
    (3)   Fee for mechanical reproduction. For copying any public record which cannot be reproduced by photocopying, such as a computer printout or a blueprint, or where the size of the record to be copied warrants sending the record outside for copying, the person requesting the record shall be charged the actual cost to the Department of such copying, including the cost of labor, materials and equipment.
    (4)   Search fee. If the person requesting a record is using the records solely for a commercial purpose, a search fee shall be charged as set forth in Section 1-612 of the Securities Act for the time spent by employees in retrieving the record
    (b)   Prepayment of fees. The Record Custodian may require prepayment of estimated fees for requests for public records and shall require prepayment of a fee whenever the estimated amount exceeds $200.00. The prepayment amount shall be an estimate of the costs of copying, mechanical reproduction and/or searching for the record. Any overage or underage in the prepayment amount shall be settled prior to producing the requested record or delivering the copy or mechanical reproduction of the record to the person requesting the record.
