    9-1701.  LICENSURE OR NONLICENSURE. (1) The existence or nonexistence of
licensure by any public authority in this state, the United States, or any
state of the United States may be proved, prima facie, in any criminal or
civil action, by the affidavit of the custodian of the records of the
licensing authority, or one acting with the authorization of the custodian,
stating that the conclusion given was based on a diligent search of the
records, and accompanied by a certificate that such person has the custody.
    (2)  In cases where public licensing functions performed by more than one
licensing authority in this state relate to the same subject matter, the
bureau of occupational licenses may, by regulation, designate a single
custodian to maintain a master list of licensees, and the affidavit of such
person, or one acting with his authority, may be used as evidence in the
manner and with the effect set forth in subsection (1) of this section.
    (3)  This section does not prevent the proof of official records or of
entry or lack of entry therein by any method authorized by any applicable
statute, rule of criminal or civil procedure or rule of evidence recognized by
the courts of this state.
