(a) Records of the commission are open for public inspection and copying, with the following exceptions:

(1) a document required by law or court order to be sealed or otherwise kept confidential;

(2) personnel files;

(3) investigative files, except that the documents that have been presented as evidence or filed in an administrative adjudicative proceeding are no longer confidential under this paragraph.

(b) The commission staff may share an investigative file with appropriate law enforcement agencies if instances of criminal misconduct have been alleged or discovered in the course of an investigation.

(c) The respondent may obtain access to the investigative file, except privileged information through a request for discovery after a formal disciplinary proceeding commences is based on the investigation.

(d) All references to a minor in an administrative proceeding and in documents available to the public, must be by initials or a similar method that maintains the minor's confidentiality. If a minor is called to testify as a witness at a hearing, the commission will, in its discretion, close that portion of the hearing to the general public and will determine who may be present while the minor is testifying. A transcript of the proceeding must refer to a minor by initials or a similar method that maintains confidentiality.
