The Secretary of State shall provide appropriate training for the operation of the installed systems or any changes to the systems to 2 members of each Recorder's office staff at no charge to the Recorders. Each recorder shall maintain at its own expense the computer hardware that has been installed by the Secretary of State in its offices.
