increase the fees allowed | 3 | | by this Section and collect such increased fees
from all | 4 | | persons and entities other than officers, agencies, | 5 | | departments
and other instrumentalities of the State if the | 6 | | increase is justified by an

sufficient to cover | 8 | | the cost of providing the service.
Regardless of any other | 9 | | provision in this Section, the maximum fee that may
be | 10 | | collected from the Department of Revenue for filing or indexing | 11 | | a

A standard document is not subject to | 18 | | more than one classification at the time of recording for the | 19 | | purposes of imposing any fee.
