§ 35-9-109. Confidentiality of inert ingredients

(1) Except as provided by this section, no inert ingredient information required by section 35-9-107 (1) (d) shall be released to any person by the commissioner.

(2) A registrant may authorize the commissioner to disclose any inert ingredient information required by section 35-9-107 by filing a signed authorization for release of information with the commissioner.

(3) When a treating physician or the poison control service provider selected pursuant to section 25-32-105, C.R.S., determines that a medical emergency exists and information submitted to the commissioner concerning inert ingredients pursuant to section 35-9-107 (1) (d) is necessary for emergency or first-aid treatment, the commissioner may immediately disclose the information necessary to that treating physician or to such poison control service provider. The commissioner shall require such treating physician or such poison control service provider to submit to the commissioner a statement of need for the information and a confidentiality agreement, in the form and manner the commissioner shall designate, as soon as circumstances permit.

(4) If the treating physician or the poison control service provider, after receiving confidential information regarding a pesticide, determines that there is a need to disclose the information to another health professional, including a physician or a toxicologist, due to an immediate health emergency, whether public or individual, the treating physician or the poison control service provider shall so inform the commissioner. The commissioner shall require confidentiality from any such health professional to whom the confidential information is disclosed.
