Officials of the Secretary of State stated that the parts of the proposal concerning the Document Services Fund would not affect their agency, administratively. They noted that the amounts of money collected by the Archives Division varies from year to year and that there were about $4,000 collected during FY 2000. These monies were deposited to the General Revenue Fund.

These fees would, under terms of the proposal, be credited to the Document Services Fund.
