No cause of action shall arise nor shall any liability be imposed against the commissioner, the commissioner's authorized agent or any examiner appointed by the commissioner for any statements made or conduct performed in good faith while carrying out the provisions of this act. This section does not abrogate or modify in any way any common law or other statutory privilege or immunity available to any person identified in this subsection.

For purposes of this subsection, a proceeding is "substantially justified" if it had a reasonable basis in law or fact at the time that it was initiated. b. No cause of action shall arise, nor shall any liability be imposed against any person for the act of communicating or delivering information or data to the commissioner or the commissioner's authorized representative or examiner pursuant to an examination made under this act, if the communication or delivery was performed in good faith and without fraudulent intent or the intent to deceive.
