72. Commission may retain documents

The Commission may take and retain for as long as is necessary possession of any document obtained under this Chapter.

The person who provided the document is entitled to be supplied, as soon as practicable, with a copy certified by the Commission to be a true copy of the document.

Notwithstanding any other written law, the certified copy of the document shall be admissible as evidence as if it was the original document.

Until a certified copy of the document is supplied, the commission shall, at such times and places as the Commission deems appropriate, permit the person who provided the document or a person authorized by the person to inspect and make copies of or take extracts from the original document.

If the commission is satisfied that the retaining of the document is no longer necessary, the Commission may return the document to the person who provided the document as soon as practicable.
