"under such regulations as the commissioner prescribes" in Subsec. (c) and substituted charges provided for in chapter 3
for "reasonable" charges prescribed by commissioner in Subsec. (d); Sec. 36-520 transferred to Sec. 36b-78 in 1995; P.A.
97-22 made technical changes in Subsecs. (b) and (d); P.A. 97-47 substituted "the Freedom of Information Act, as defined
in section 1-18a" for "chapter 3" in Subsecs. (c) and (d).
