An agency would be allowed to disclose: (i) under exigent circumstances; (ii) if the elected official approves in writing; (iii) if disclosure is required by federal or state law or court order; (iv) if the agency asserts in good faith a need to disclose; or (v) if disclosure is related to a law enforcement investigation. An agency must submit an explanation to its privacy officer if it disclosed for the reason in (i) and the elected official must be notified.
