§ 36-2-17-11 — Destruction of recorder's records; force and effect of record; certified copies; fee for recording

(a) A party to a legal proceeding may
introduce a record of testimony made under section 10 of this chapter
into evidence. Such a record has the same force as oral testimony at the
trial by the witness whose statement makes up the record, and it may
be excluded, rebutted, or impeached in the same manner in which that
oral testimony could be excluded, rebutted, or impeached.
(b) If the recorder certifies that a copy of a record made under
section 10 of this chapter is a complete copy of all parts of the record
relevant to a document in issue in a trial, the certified copy is
admissible in evidence in that trial and has the same force as the
original record.
(c) The recorder shall charge half the usual fee for recording a
document under section 9 or 10 of this chapter.
