Approved April 1, 1966

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia be amended by adding a section numbered
12-41.2, as follows:

§ 12-41.2. When a request made under § 12-41(8) or § 12-41.1 relates
to the Uniform Commercial Code, the fees shall be:

(1) For making and certifying a copy of an original financing state-
ment or a subsequent statement, the fee shall be three dollars for the
certificate and one dollar for each page of the statement. All statements
filed against the same debtor at a specified mailing address or addresses
may be included in one certificate. ;

(2) For certifying that no statements are on file against a specified
debtor, the fee shall be three dollars. Such certificate shall not be issued
ee the person requesting it specifies the debtor by name and mailing
address.

(3) For certifying a list of the file numbers of original financing
statements on file against a specified debtor (specified by name and mailing
address) the fee shall be three dollars plus one dollar for each file number.

(4) Each request for a certificate under the three preceding para-
graphs or for information that could be included in such a certificate shall
be accompanied by a fee of three dollars for searching the records. If the
clerk notifies the applicant that the requested certificate cannot be issued
or that the records do not disclose the requested information, the fee shall
not be returned. If a certificate is issued, the fee paid for searching the
records shall be credited on the fee for the certificate. ;

If the seal of the Commission is required to be affixed, the tax imposed
by § 12-3 shall be charged and collected in addition to the fees. If the seal
is not to be affixed, the certificate may be signed with a rubber stamp
bearing the facsimile signature of the clerk.

No action shall be brought against the Commission or any member of
its staff claiming damages for alleged errors or omissions in any certificate.
2. An emergency exists and this act is in force from its passage.
