(a) Except as provided in subsection (e), when a subpoena duces tecum is served upon any person or entity administering or providing services to a deferred compensation plan established pursuant to this part in an action or proceeding in which the person or entity is not a party, and such subpoena requires the production of all or any part of the records of the deferred compensation plan relating to a present or former plan participant, it shall be sufficient compliance if the person or entity within fourteen (14) days after being served with a subpoena duces tecum, shall file with the court clerk or the issuer, either by personal delivery or certified or registered mail, a true and correct copy (which may be a copy reproduced on film or other reproducing material by microfilming, photographing, photostating or other approximate process, or a facsimile, exemplification or copy of such reproduction or copy) of all records specifically described in such subpoena.
(b) The records shall be accompanied by an affidavit of a custodian, stating in substance that:
(1) The affiant is the duly authorized custodian of the records and has authority to certify the records; and
(2) The copy is a true copy of all the records described in the subpoena.
(c) If the person or entity has none of the records described, or only part thereof, the custodian shall so state in the affidavit and file the affidavit and such records as are available in the manner prescribed in this section.
(d)(1) The copy of the record shall be admissible in evidence to the same extent as though the original thereof were offered and the custodian had been present and testified to the matters stated in the affidavit.
(2) The affidavit shall be admissible in evidence and the matters stated therein shall be presumed true in the absence of a preponderance of evidence to the contrary.
(3) When more than one (1) person has knowledge of the facts, more than one (1) affidavit may be made.
(e) The personal attendance of the custodian may be commanded only if personal attendance is necessary to resolve a good faith dispute concerning the accuracy of the information to be furnished. Where personal attendance of the custodian is required, the subpoena duces tecum shall contain a clause which reads: “The procedure authorized pursuant to § 8-25-110 will not be deemed sufficient compliance with this subpoena.”
