There shall be no charge to governmental agencies or other institutions affected with a public interest and which in the opinion of the Sheriff are entitled to such reproductions of reports, records, documents, data, other material and for the imprinting and processing of fingerprints, by reason of policy or reciprocation and for which the Sheriff's Department is not required to incur expenses in the reproducing, furnishing, imprinting or processing of such reports, records, documents, data, other material or fingerprints.

The Sheriff shall have full authority to adopt such rules, regulations and procedures as he or she deems necessary and properly related to the care and maintenance of prisoners from other jurisdictions and for the reproducing, furnishing and processing of said reproductions. The Sheriff shall have full authority to adopt rules, regulations and procedures for the imprinting and processing of fingerprints and the terms and conditions.

If the State enacts booking fee legislation and budgets reimbursement funding for local governments, the Sheriff and Police Departments shall implement a booking fee and file for reimbursement from the State of California. If such a fee is implemented, the Controller shall establish a work order authorization between the Sheriff and Police Departments covering the full costs of the activity and revise each department's budget accordingly.
