acquired by them in the discharge of their duties as prescribed by
this division.
(b) The commissioner may furnish information relating to the
condition or operation of any association or other person to state
and federal authorities that supervise financial institutions, to
state, local and federal law enforcement agencies, and state agencies
that are engaged in any investigation of an unsafe or unsound
business practice.
(c) No record or document in the possession or custody of the
department which contains information specified in subdivision (a)
shall be produced pursuant to a subpoena duces tecum addressed to the
commissioner or any employee of the department except upon a
determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that disclosure of
the information in the record or document would serve the public
interest and assist the department in conducting the duties
prescribed by this subdivision. With respect to each item subject to
the subpoena duces tecum, the court shall either make this
determination or shall determine that the item is not subject to
disclosure. The court's determination shall be made upon hearing on a
motion by the subpoenaing party under this subdivision to compel
production of the document or record.
