C. An authorized agency provided with information pursuant to subsections A or B of this section may release or provide such information to any other authorized agency.

Provided that the insured shall be notified of any information provided pursuant to this act. Such notice shall include the name and address of the entity to whom information is provided, as well as copies of all information so provided if such copies are requested by the insured.
