1 26 3. A multidisciplinary community services team shall
1 27 select a chairperson and other officers as deemed necessary by

1 29 services team is not a governmental body as defined in section
1 30 21.2 and is not subject to the provisions of chapter 21,
1 31 relating to open meetings. Notwithstanding chapter 22, the
1 32 confidentiality of information in the possession of a
1 33 multidisciplinary team which is required by law to be
1 34 confidential shall be maintained except as specifically
1 35 provided by this section.

2 10 team member except in the best interests of the subject of the
2 11 confidential information and shall not disclose such
2 12 information to another person except as otherwise authorized
2 13 by law. A member of a multidisciplinary community services
2 14 team who willfully uses or discloses confidential information
2 15 in violation of this section commits a serious misdemeanor.
2 16 Notwithstanding section 903.1, the penalty for a person
2 17 convicted pursuant to this subsection is a fine of not more
2 18 than five hundred dollars in the case of a first offense and
2 19 not more than five thousand dollars in the case of each
2 20 subsequent offense.
