AN ACT

To amend section 1732 of title 28, United States Code, entitled "Judiciary and judicial procedure" by adding a new subsection thereto "To permit the photographic reproduction of business records and the introduction of the same in evidence".

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That section 1732 of title 28 of the United States Code entitled "Judiciary and judicial procedure" is amended by inserting “(a)" immediately preceding the first paragraph thereof, and by adding a new subsection to read as follows:

"(b) 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, 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 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. This subsection shall not be construed to exclude from evidence any document or copy thereof which is otherwise admissible under the rules of evidence.'
