§ 82. Employees not to divulge information or make false reports. Any

person who is or has been an employee of a holder of a license shall not

divulge to any one other than his employer, or as his employer shall

direct, except as he may be required by law, any information acquired by

shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. The employer of any employee believed

to have violated this section shall without any liability whatsoever

upon said employer supply the secretary of state or such officer or

designate, all the known facts and circumstances in connection with the

said employee's transaction or performance or action believed to be in

violation of this article and the secretary of state or his authorized

representative shall, should the facts and circumstances be deemed to

warrant, conduct further investigation and submit the evidence thus

acquired to the attorney-general of the state for appropriate action in

accordance with the provisions of section eighty-five of this chapter.
