   17  proprietary business information; and
   18         3. Knowledge of a chemical considered confidential and
   19  exempt proprietary business information will assist in such
   20  diagnosis or treatment.
   21         (e) Confidential and exempt proprietary business
   22  information must be immediately disclosed to any health
   23  professional if the health professional determines a medical
   24  emergency exists and the confidential and exempt proprietary
   25  business information is necessary for emergency treatment. The
   26  health professional must verbally acknowledge that such
   27  information shall be kept confidential and not be used for
   28  purposes other than the health needs asserted.

   30  information must be immediately disclosed to any first responder

   33  business information is necessary to assess and respond to the
   34  emergency. The first responder must verbally acknowledge that
   35  such information shall be kept confidential and not be used for
   36  purposes other than to assess and respond to the emergency.
   37         (g) Information disclosed to a health professional or
   38  emergency responder shall not become part of the chemical
   39  disclosure registry and shall in no way be construed as publicly
   40  available.
