A determination by the director under this subsection is subject to review under ORS 192.311 to 192.478. (3) Except as provided in subsections (4) and (5) of this section, the following records of the department are exempt from disclosure or production and must be treated as confidential as provided in ORS 705.137: (a) Examination reports and work papers, directives, orders and correspondence that relate to examination reports.

(4) Notwithstanding subsection (3) of this section, the director may disclose a record that is specified in this subsection and that pertains to an Oregon operating institution that has been liquidated under ORS 711.400 to 711.615 if the director determines in a particular instance that the public interest in disclosure of the record outweighs the interests of the Oregon operating institution or of the directors, stockholders, officers, employees or customers of the Oregon operating institution in keeping the record confidential. The director may not in any circumstances, however, disclose a record or a portion of a record that contains proprietary information or information that relates to a person’s financial activities or affairs unless the director concludes that the activities or affairs were a direct and substantial contributing factor in the failure of the Oregon operating institution. This subsection applies to the following records of the department: (a) Examination reports and work papers, directives, orders and correspondence relating to examination reports; (b) Investigatory information concerning persons subject to investigation by the director under ORS 707.070, 707.080, 707.110, 707.140, 707.145, 707.155 or 707.705; (c) Reviews of financial statements; and (d) Reports filed under ORS 706.655. (5) Notwithstanding ORS 40.270, an officer of the department may be examined concerning records that are exempt from disclosure under subsection (2) or (3) of this section and ORS 706.730.
