Part 4 - Funding and Insurance
§ 29-20-401. Creation of Reserve or Special Fund — Pooling Agreements With Other Governmental Entities — Election to Self-Insurer

Any information obtained by or disclosed to the commissioner of commerce and insurance pursuant to an examination, audit or investigation conducted under this chapter shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to the public. Any information obtained by or disclosed to the comptroller shall be considered working papers of the comptroller and, therefore, are confidential. Furthermore, the commissioner of commerce and insurance shall not disclose any information relating to the reserving of particular claims, if disclosure would likely prejudice the fund in settling the claim; provided, however, that this shall not apply to any examination report, audit or investigative report prepared by the commissioner of commerce and insurance or the comptroller, or to any rebuttal to such reports submitted by or on behalf of the fund examined. However, nothing contained in this subdivision (g)(3) shall be construed as prohibiting the commissioner of commerce and insurance or the comptroller from disclosing the information listed in this subdivision (g)(3), or any matters relating to that information, to state agencies of this or any other state, or to law enforcement officials of this or any other state or agency of the federal government at any time.
Any person knowingly or willfully testifying falsely in reference to any matter material to the investigation, audit, examination or inquiry commits a Class A misdemeanor.
Any director, trustee, officer, agent, or employee of an insurance pool or reserve fund, or any other person who knowingly or willfully makes any false certificate, entry, or memorandum upon any of the books or papers of any insurance pool or reserve fund upon any statement filed or offered to be filed in the department or used in the course of any examination, inquiry or investigation with the intent to deceive the commissioner of commerce and insurance or any person appointed by the commissioner or the comptroller to make the examination, commits a Class A misdemeanor.
