<br />to inspect any public record, he may request that he be <br />furnished copies, printouts, or photographs of such <br />record. The custodian may furnish such copies, <br />printouts, or photographs for a reasonable fee, to be set <br />by the official custodian, not to exceed one dollar and <br />twenty-five cents per page unless actual costs exceed <br />that amount; except that, when the custodian is the <br />secretary of state, fees shall be determined and collected <br />pursuant to section 24-21-104 (3). Where fees for <br />certified copies or other copies, printouts, or <br />photographs of such record are specifically prescribed <br />by law, such specific fees shall apply. <br />(2) If the custodian does not have facilities for <br />making copies, printouts, or photographs of records <br />which the applicant has the right to inspect, the <br />applicant shall be granted access to the records for the <br />purpose of making copies, printouts, or photographs. <br />The copies, printouts, or photographs shall be made <br />while the records are in the possession, custody, and <br />control of the custodian thereof and shall be subject to <br />the supervision of such custodian. When practical, they <br />shall be made in the place where the records are kept, <br />but, if it is impractical to do so, the custodian may allow <br />arrangements to be made for this purpose. If other <br />facilities are necessary, the cost of providing them shall <br />be paid by the person desiring a copy, printout, or <br />photograph of the records. The official custodian may <br />establish a reasonable schedule of times for making <br />copies, printouts, or photographs and may charge the <br />same fee for the services rendered by him or his deputy <br />in supervising the copying, printing out, or <br />photographing as he may charge for furnishing copies <br />under subsection (1) of this section. <br />(3) If, in response to a specific request, the <br />state or any of its agencies, institutions, or political <br />subdivisions has performed a manipulation of data so as <br />to generate a record in a form not used by the state or by <br />said agency, institution, or political subdivision, a <br />reasonable fee may be charged to the person making the <br />request. Such fee shall not exceed the actual cost of <br />manipulating the said data and generating the said <br />record in accordance with the request. Persons making <br />subsequent requests for the same or similar records may <br />be charged a fee not in excess of the original fee. <br />(4) If the public record is a result of computer <br />output other than word processing, the fee for a copy, <br />printout, or photograph thereof may be based on <br />recovery of the actual incremental costs of providing the <br />electronic services and products together with a <br />reasonable portion of the costs associated with building <br />and maintaining the information system. Such fee may <br />be reduced or waived by the custodian if the electronic <br />services and products are to be used for a public <br />purpose, including public agency program support, <br />nonprofit activities, journalism, and academic research. <br />Fee reductions and waivers shall be llliformly applied <br />among persons who are similarly situated. <br /> <br />40 <br />
