The strangest part of the story to me is that the state charges for each search individually. PA.gov appears to require the creation of an account, so they could save themselves a big chunk of money by charging the customer once a month. I was formerly employed at a portal similar to PA.gov in another state, and this is exactly what we did. I can't think of any good reason to charge by the drink, so it's probably some well-meaning but boneheaded state reg.
