. No documents or records of a public utility or person or
corporation which purport to be statements of fact shall be admitted
into evidence or shall serve as any basis for the testimony of any
witness, unless the documents or records have been certified under
penalty of perjury by the person preparing or in charge of preparing
them as being true and correct. If the person preparing them is dead
or has been declared incompetent, any other person having knowledge
of such statements of fact may certify the records. If certification
pursuant to this section is not possible for any reason, the
documents or records shall not be admitted into evidence unless
admissible under the Evidence Code.
This section shall not apply to any documents not prepared,
directly or indirectly, by, or under the supervision or direction of,
the public utility or person or corporation offering the documents
into evidence.
