484.2210 Trade secrets and commercial or financial information; exemption from freedom of information act; protective order; confidentiality; presumption; information regarding settlement.
Sec. 210.
(1)Except under the terms of a mandatory protective order, trade secrets and commercial or financial information submitted under this act are exempt from the freedom of information act, 1976 PA 442, MCL 15.231 to 15.246.
(2)If information is disclosed under a mandatory protective order, then the information may be included in the commission's evidentiary record if admissible, but shall remain confidential.
(3)There is a rebuttable presumption that cost studies, customer usage data, marketing studies, and contracts between providers are trade secrets or commercial or financial information protected under subsection (1). The burden of removing the presumption under this subsection is with the party seeking to have the information disclosed.
(4)Information regarding settlement, including a recommended settlement issued by a mediator in a proceeding, shall be disclosed only to the parties to the proceeding unless all parties consent to disclosure. A mediator's recommended settlement may be disclosed to the commission after the commission has issued a final order. The administrative law judge assigned to any contested case proceeding arising from a mediation shall not be made aware of the acceptance or rejection by the parties of the recommended settlement, or the terms of the recommended settlement. The parties to the mediation shall not disclose or reveal the terms of the recommended settlement to anyone other than the parties to the mediation.
