Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Expenditures associated with this service primarily deal with the printing, copying, and mailing of the documents requested. Revenues received by the state are not adequate to cover the per-copy fee and mailing expenses incurred by the state to produce these documents in paper format. Furthermore, providing the documents electronically increases the speed of delivery to the customer, and reduces the environmental impact of the service.
