7. Records and reports. Each employing unit shall keep true and accurate work records, containing such information as the commissioner may prescribe. These records must be open to inspection and be subject to being copied by the commissioner or the commissioner's authorized representatives at any reasonable time and as often as may be necessary. The commissioner may require from any employing unit any sworn or unsworn reports, with respect to persons employed by it, that the commissioner considers necessary for the effective administration of this chapter. Information thus obtained or obtained from any individual pursuant to the administration of this chapter, except to the extent necessary for proper presentation of a claim, must be held confidential and may not be published or opened to public inspection, other than to public employees in the performance of their public duties or to any agent of an agency that is under contract with a state or local child-support agency, or to any agent of an agency that is under contract or subcontract with the state employment and job training agency, pursuant to safeguards established by the commissioner, in any manner revealing the individual's or employing unit's identity, but the department shall, upon request, provide to any party to an adjudicatory proceeding information from the records relating to the proceeding. Final decisions of adjudicatory proceedings are available to the public provided that after the names and addresses of claimants and employers are deleted from the decisions. Records, with any necessary authentication thereof of those records, required in the prosecution of any criminal action brought by another state for misrepresentation to obtain benefits under the law of this State must be made available to the agency administering the employment security law of any such state for the purpose of such prosecution. Any person who violates any provision of this subsection is guilty of a Class E crime. Any agent of an agency that is under contract with a state or local child-support agency, or any agent of an agency that is under contract or subcontract with the state employment and job training agency who discloses any information that is confidential pursuant to this subsection, other than disclosure authorized by this subsection, is guilty of a Class E crime.
