The bureau shall adopt rules and regulations which provide a means for any
individual, his authorized representative, or his attorney if he is physically incapable of
appearing at the bureau, to view, obtain a certified copy, make notes, and administratively
challenge the accuracy and contents of his personal criminal history information record and
to seek corrections. The bureau may levy a reasonable fee of not less than ten dollars for this
purpose, which fees shall be collected by the bureau, paid into the state treasury, and
appropriated to the bureau, all in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 15:584, and shall

which the bureau is required to furnish under the provisions of this Chapter. Any increase

seq. The authorization provided in this Section for an individual, his authorized
representative, or his attorney to obtain a certified copy of his criminal history information
record shall become effective only upon the adoption of rules by the department pursuant to
