kind of business, profession, occupation, calling, or operation of institutions, whether
carried on for profit or not.
(b) A record of an act, condition, or event shall, in so far as relevant, be competent
evidence if the custodian or other qualified witness testifies to its identity and
the mode of its preparation, and if it was made in the regular course of business,
at or near the time of the act, condition, or event, and if, in the opinion of the
court, the sources of information, method, and time of preparation were such as to
justify its admission.
(c) This section shall be so interpreted and construed as to effectuate the general purpose
