(A) All complaints confidential. No public official, employee or member of a board or commission who has access to any confidential information related to the functions or activities of the board shall divulge that information to any person who is not authorized to have it. The identity of a person who requests a confidential advisory ethics opinion is confidential, as is information describing or pertaining to any organization mentioned in the request for an opinion if the disclosure of the information could lead to the disclosure of the identity of the person requesting the confidential advisory opinion.
(B) Waiver of confidentiality. A person who makes or purports to make public the substance of or any portion of an advisory opinion requested by or on behalf of that person is deemed to have waived the confidentiality of the request for an advisory opinion and of any records obtained or prepared by the board in connection with the request for an advisory opinion.
