. (a) The department may establish commercial requester
accounts for individuals or organizations and issue requester codes
for the purpose of obtaining information from the department's files,
except as prohibited by Section 1808.21.
(b) Commercial requester account applications shall include the
requester's name, address, type of business, a specific reason for
requesting information, and the name of the person responsible for
the business or firm.
(c) The department shall establish a commercial requester account
when it determines that the applicant has a legitimate business need
for the information requested and when the applicant files a bond in
the amount of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) and pays a two hundred
fifty dollar ($250) filing fee. If the applicant does not request
and is not issued a requester code permitting the applicant access to
residence address information, only a filing fee of fifty dollars
($50) shall be required with the original application and each
biennial renewal application.
(d) An individual requester code shall be issued for a period not
to exceed five years and may be renewed upon application for
additional periods not to exceed five years each.
(e) A requester code may be denied to any person unless the
proposed use of the information from department records is related to
legitimate business or commercial purposes of that person. A
requester code may be canceled immediately if the requested
information is used for a purpose other than the purpose for which
the requester code was issued.
