§ 6109. Photographic copies of business and public records. (a) Short title of section.-- This section shall be known and may be cited as the "Uniform Photographic Copies of
Business and Public Records as Evidence Act." (b) General rule.-- If any business institution, member of a profession or calling, or any department
or agency of government, in the regular course of business or activity, has kept or
recorded any memorandum, writing, entry, print, representation, or combination thereof,
of any act, transaction, occurrence or event, and in the regular course of business
has caused any or all of the same to be recorded, copied or reproduced by any photographic,
photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic, or other process which
accurately reproduces or forms a durable medium for so reproducing the original, the
original may be destroyed, in the regular course of business, unless its preservation
is required by law. Any such reproduction in order to comply with this section must
accurately reproduce all lines and markings which appear on the original. Such reproduction,
when satisfactorily identified, is as admissible in evidence as the original itself
in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether the original is in existence
or not, and an enlargement or facsimile of such reproduction is likewise admissible
in evidence if the original reproduction is in existence and available for inspection
under direction of the tribunal. The introduction of a reproduced record, enlargement
or facsimile does not preclude admission of the original. Cross References. Section 6109 is referred to in sections 1378, 1380, 1516, 1550, 3753 of Title 75 (Vehicles).
