(2) The Division of Treasury may electronically reproduce all records and documents of the division, as the Chief Financial Officer, in his or her discretion, selects; and the division may destroy any such documents or records after they have been reproduced electronically and filed and after audit of the division has been completed for the period embracing the dates of such documents and records.
(3) Electronic copies of any records made in compliance with this section have the same force and effect as the originals have and must be treated as originals for the purpose of their admissibility in evidence.
