The Insurance Commissioner, district attorney, or Attorney General seeking disclosure under this act has the burden of proving the elements set forth in subsection B or C of Section 2 of this act.
B. The parties may at any time stipulate in proceedings under Section 2 or 3 of this act to entry of an order directing that specific information contained in an insurance compliance self- evaluative audit document is or is not subject to the privilege provided under Section 1 of this act. Any such stipulation may be
limited to the instant proceeding and, absent specific language to the contrary, shall not be applicable to any other proceeding. Added by Laws 2012, c. 257, § 4, eff. Nov. 1, 2012.
