§ 9-2-2607 — Confidentiality of information; disclosure; reimbursement

(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
individual. The confidentiality limitations of this section do
not apply to transfers of information to the employing unit or
the individual when the employing unit or individual who
provided the requested information gives written permission for
its release, or between the divisions of the department of
workforce services so long as the transfer of information is not
restricted by federal law, rule or contract. 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.
(b) The department may, upon request, disclose any
information obtained under this article to a director or agency
head, or his designee or agent, in the executive branch of
federal or state government to be used by the public official
only for official business in connection with the administration
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.
