If a representative of the commission or the department of revenue wishes to examine the books, accounts, records, minutes, letters, memoranda, documents, checks, telegrams, constitution and bylaws, or other records of a nonresident seller's permittee, the representative shall make a written request to the permittee or the permittee's duly authorized manager or representative or, if the permittee is a corporation, to any officer of the corporation.
When a request for an examination is made, the person to whom it is directed shall immediately allow the representative to conduct the examination.
The representative may investigate the organization, conduct, and management of any nonresident seller's permittee and may make copies of any records which in the judgment of the representative may show or tend to show that the permittee has violated state law, regulation or the terms of the permit.
A representative may not make public any information obtained under this section except to a law enforcement officer of this state or in connection with an administrative or judicial proceeding in which the state or commission is a party concerning the cancellation or suspension of a nonresident seller's permit, the collection of taxes due under state law, or the violation of state law.
The commission may revoke or suspend a nonresident seller's permit in accordance with this title if a permittee or the permittee's authorized representative fails or refuses to permit an examination authorized by this section, or to permit the making of copies of any documents as provided by this section, without regard to whether the document is inside or outside the state, or if the permittee or the permittee's authorized representative fails or refuses to answer a question of an officer incident to an examination or investigation in progress.
