A. The records, books, and papers pertaining to the official

of the Insurance Department shall be maintained by the Department
until disposition thereof has been approved by the Archives and
Records Commission. These records, books, and papers shall be
public records of the state. However, reports of examinations of
insurers shall be filed and made public only as provided in Section
309.4 of this title. Open and ongoing investigative and
disciplinary files shall not be made public until their completion
or unless they are ordered to be made public by the proper judicial
official. Files of the claims division of the office of the
Commissioner, including but not limited to complaints and requests
for assistance from insureds, and insurance agency and company
records, shall not be public records and shall not be disclosed
except in connection with disciplinary proceedings by the
Commissioner. Final market conduct orders shall be open public
records.
B. Any document or other information generated by the Insurance
Department or received by the Insurance Department from a
governmental agency or any other public body of any kind, including

from disclosure under any statute or evidentiary privilege from
disclosure, while in the possession of the body that generated or
received the information, shall retain its confidential character
while in the possession of the Insurance Department. The Insurance
Department may require that any agency or public body providing a
document or other information, if it expects the information to be
treated confidentially by the Insurance Department, to also provide
simultaneously an express reference to the claimed protection from
disclosure.
C. A court shall quash any subpoena commanding the disclosure
of confidential information or closed records of the Insurance
Department absent a showing of justification for the disclosure.
