A check-cashing business shall make, keep and maintain all records used in providing money, credit or any other thing of value in exchange for payment instruments that the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services may reasonably require. The check-cashing business shall keep and maintain the records that the director requires under this section separate from records used for any other business that the check-cashing business conducts.

The check-cashing business shall pay the Department of Consumer and Business Services for the actual cost of the examination. The director by rule shall establish rates and charges associated with examinations made under this section.
