(b)

(c) In no event shall the OLSE require an Employer to provide any information or documents the disclosure of which would violate state or federal law.

(e) Pursuant to its rulemaking authority under this Article, the OLSE shall adopt rules that establish procedures for Employers to maintain and retain accurate records and to provide annual reporting of compliance to OLSE in a manner that does not require disclosure of any information that would violate State or Federal privacy laws.
