Reports of examination, and correspondence that relates to the report of
examination, of a bank or trust company shall be considered confidential
information. No officer or director of a bank or trust company, employee of the
department, or employee of a state or federal regulatory authority shall release
any information contained in the examination, except when:
(a) Required in a proper legal proceeding in which a subpoena and
protective order insuring confidentiality has been issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction; or
(b) The information is referred to an appropriate prosecuting attorney for
possible criminal proceedings, to outside persons providing professional
services to the bank, or to outside persons for the purpose of evaluating
the bank for possible acquisition. Reports of examination released to
outside persons providing professional services to the bank or for the
purpose of evaluating the bank for possible acquisition, shall require a
written request from such outside persons and prior approval by the board
of directors or an executive committee of the bank.
The department may furnish to and exchange information and reports with
officials and examiners of other properly authorized state or federal regulatory
authorities, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal
Reserve Board, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Every official report concerning a bank or trust company, and every report of
examination, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated for all
purposes in any action in which the department, bank, or trust company is a
party.
