A. In order to promote more effective regulation and reduce regulatory burden through supervisory information sharing, the requirements under any federal or state law regarding the privacy or confidentiality of any information or material provided to a multistate automated licensing system and any privilege arising under federal or state law, including the rules of any federal or state court with respect to such information or material, shall continue to apply to the information or material after the information or material has been disclosed to a multistate automated licensing system. The information or material may be shared with all state and federal regulatory officials with consumer credit oversight authority without the loss of privilege or the loss of confidentiality protections provided by federal or any state law, including the protection available under the laws of the State of Oklahoma.

For purposes of this section, the Administrator of the Department of Consumer Credit is authorized to enter into agreements or sharing agreements with other governmental agencies, the Conference of State Bank Supervisors or other associations representing governmental agencies as established by rule or order of the Administrator.
C. Information or material that is subject to privilege or confidentiality under this section shall not be subject to:
1. Disclosure under any federal or state law governing the disclosure to the public of information held by an officer or any agency of the federal government or the respective state; or
2. Subpoena, discovery or admission into evidence in any private civil action or administrative process, unless with respect to any privilege held by a multistate automated licensing system applicable to such information or material, the person to whom such information or material pertains waives that privilege in whole or in part in the discretion of such person.
D. This section shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of law pertaining to the records open to public inspection.
E. This section shall not apply with respect to information or material relating to publicly adjudicated disciplinary and enforcement actions against persons subject to this act that is included in a multistate automated licensing system for access by the public.
