877 - Trade secrets.

§  877. Trade secrets. 1. When a manufacturer, producer, formulator or
  employer considers the identity of or  other  information  concerning  a
  toxic  chemical  substance  to  be  a  protectable  trade  secret  or  a
  proprietary process whose disclosure would  compromise  his  competitive
  advantage  and  when  other  applicable provisions of the health law are
  satisfied,  he  may  register  this  information  as  secret  with   the
  commissioner of health.
    2. Manufacturers, producers, formulators and employers who so register
  a  substance,  process  or  product with the commissioner of health must
  inform in writing, employers who request information  relating  to  such
  substance,  and employees and their representatives, that such substance
  or process constitutes a registered trade secret or proprietary  process
  and  that  information  regarding the toxic effects of such substance is
  only available without identifying information  and  must  provide  such
  information without identifying data.
    3. No officer, employee or agent of any state or municipal department,
  agency,  commission  or authority shall disclose to anyone in any manner
  any record or portions thereof protected pursuant to  this  article  and
  which  are within his custody or knowledge for so long as such record or
  portions thereof shall be so exempted or until a final  judicial  denial
  of  such exemption is rendered. Any person who violates any provision of
  this subdivision may be fined,  suspended  or  removed  from  office  or
  employment in the manner provided by law.
