(a) Except as otherwise provided, information maintained
pursuant to this article shall not be disclosed in a manner
which reveals the identity of the employing unit or the

requesting department or agency who discloses information
outside of the department in violation of federal or state law
may be terminated without progressive discipline.

of a law or in the enforcement of a law by that public official.
The requesting agency shall reimburse the department for the
cost of furnishing this information unless the cost is
insignificant. Any employee of the requesting department or
agency who discloses information outside of the department in
violation of federal or state law may be terminated without
progressive discipline.
