§1927. Materials and evidence
A. If matter that the division seeks to obtain by request is located outside the state, the person so requested may make it available to the division or its representative to examine at the place where it is located. The division may designate representatives, including officials of the state in which the matter is located, to inspect the matter on its behalf, and it may respond to similar requests from officials of other states.
B. The division's papers, documents, reports, or evidence relative to the subject of an investigation under this Part shall not be subject to public inspection for so long as the commissioner deems reasonably necessary to complete the investigation, to protect the person investigated from unwarranted injury, or to be in the public domain. Further, such papers, documents, reports, or evidence relative to the subject of investigation under this Section shall not be subject to subpoena until opened for public inspection by the commissioner, unless the commissioner consents, or until after notice to the commissioner and a hearing, a court of competent jurisdiction determines the division would not be necessarily hindered by such subpoena.
Division personnel shall not be subject to subpoena in civil actions by any court of this state to testify concerning any matter of which they have knowledge pursuant to a pending insurance fraud investigation.
