1 43 services team are expressly authorized to orally
1 44 disclose personally identifying information to one
1 45 another which is otherwise required by law to be
1 46 confidential. Disclosure of confidential information
1 47 other than oral information between team members under
1 48 provisions of this section is expressly prohibited.
1 49 5. A member of a multidisciplinary community
1 50 services team shall not use confidential information
2 1 obtained from another team member except in the best

2 4 another person except as otherwise authorized by law.
2 5 A member of a multidisciplinary community services
2 6 team who willfully uses or discloses confidential
2 7 information in violation of this section commits a
2 8 serious misdemeanor. Notwithstanding section 903.1,
2 9 the penalty for a person convicted pursuant to this
2 10 subsection is a fine of not more than five hundred
2 11 dollars in the case of a first offense and not more
2 12 than five thousand dollars in the case of each
2 13 subsequent offense."
