Notwithstanding chapter 22, the papers, documents, reports, or evidence in the possession of the bureau which are related to the subject of an investigation under this chapter shall not be subject to public inspection as long as the bureau deems such confidentiality reasonably necessary to complete the investigation, to protect the person investigated from unwarranted injury, or not to be in the public interest. Additionally, such papers, documents, reports, or evidence related to the subject of an investigation under this chapter is not subject to subpoena until opened for public inspection by the bureau, upon the consent of the bureau, or until the court determines, after notice to the bureau and hearing, that the bureau would not be unnecessarily hindered by such subpoena. An investigator of the bureau is not subject to subpoena in a civil action concerning any matter of which the investigator has knowledge pursuant to a pending investigation by the bureau pursuant to this chapter.
