(1) Notwithstanding ORS 746.665, an insurer shall cooperate with any law enforcement agency or other state or federal agency that is investigating or prosecuting suspected criminal conduct involving insurance. The insurer shall provide any information requested by the agency unless the information is subject to a legal privilege that would prohibit disclosure.

(2) If an insurer has reason to believe that criminal conduct involving insurance has been, is being or is about to be committed, the insurer shall notify the appropriate agency of that fact. The insurer is not required to notify the agency if the information or any part of the information upon which the belief is based is protected from disclosure by legal privilege.

(3) An insurer providing information under this section may request information relating to the investigation that is in the possession or control of the agency. The agency may not provide an insurer with information that is privileged or confidential. Otherwise, the agency shall disclose requested information unless disclosure would jeopardize an ongoing investigation or prosecution. The agency may require that the insurer not disclose the information to any other person.
