2005 Idaho Code - 9-417 — ADMISSIBILITY OF REPRODUCED RECORDS IN EVIDENCE

                                   TITLE  9
                                   EVIDENCE
                                  CHAPTER 4
                               PRIVATE WRITINGS
    9-417.  ADMISSIBILITY OF REPRODUCED RECORDS IN EVIDENCE. If any business,
institution, or member of a profession or calling, 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,
optical imaging, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, 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 held in a custodial or fiduciary capacity and the principal
or true owner has not authorized destruction or unless its preservation is
required by law. 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 court. The introduction of a reproduced record,
enlargement or facsimile, does not preclude admission of the original.
