Committee accepts deletion of bulk electronic-record fee line, leaving per-page charges in place
Summary
Conference negotiators agreed to delete a separate fee line for bulk electronic records in section 33 of S.123 because existing per-page charges already cover such requests; the committee accepted the house clarification.
During the May 29 conference meeting, negotiators reviewed section 33 of S.123 concerning fees for miscellaneous transactions and bulk electronic-record requests. The senate had added a separate line reflecting a fee per bulk electronic record; the house removed that line, saying the charge is covered by existing per-page language. Committee members agreed with the house approach and accepted deletion of the additional fee line.
Members noted that the house preferred to delete the separate fee because existing language charging per page already governs bulk electronic records when printed or converted. The committee indicated acceptance of the house change and moved on to other sections.
