(a) Except as prohibited by federal law and notwithstanding any other State law to the contrary, any member of a Case Review Multidisciplinary Team may disclose to other members of the Case Review Multidisciplinary Team any information in the member's possession that is relevant to any of the following:

(1) Performing reviews of selected active cases in which disabled adults or older adults are being served by adult protective services through local departments of social services.

(2) Providing, arranging, or coordinating services on behalf of disabled adults or older adults whose cases have been or are currently under review by the Case Review Multidisciplinary Team.

(b) The local director of social services shall not share any information that discloses the identity of individuals who have reported suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a disabled adult or older adult to the local department of social services, except as allowed by State or federal law.

(c) Meetings of the Case Review Multidisciplinary Team are not subject to the provisions of Article 33C of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes.

(d) The authority of a Case Review Multidisciplinary Team to disclose information pursuant to this section terminates when a case is no longer an active case in which a disabled adult or older adult is being served by adult protective services through a local department of social services, including if the inactive status of the case is due to the disabled adult's or older adult's failure to give consent to receive protective services or due to the disabled adult's or older adult's withdrawal of consent to receive protective services.  (2025-23, s. 1.)
