All identification records collected and maintained by the board are confidential and closed to the public. Identification records includes: (1) The names and addresses of associated persons; and (2) The location and identification number of the premises where animals are kept. The board may disclose records requested by law enforcement of the state and used for mandatory disease control or eradication efforts. For purposes of this section, records used for mandatory disease control or eradication efforts are those records requested by, or required to be given to, other government agencies to control or eradicate current diseases on the board’s list of reportable diseases. Providing records to other government agencies as part of disease control or eradication efforts does not otherwise change the confidential or closed status of the documents.
