The report must be filed no later than 15 days after the end of the calendar month in which a reportable transaction occurs. A copy of the report, including any exhibits or other attachments filed as a part of the report, shall be filed with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. All reports obtained by or disclosed to the Director under this Section shall be given confidential treatment and shall not be subject to subpoena and shall not be made public by the Director, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, or any other person, except to insurance departments of other states, without the prior written consent of the insurer to which it pertains unless the Director, after giving the insurer who would be affected notice and an opportunity to be heard, determines that the interests of policyholders, shareholders, or the public will be served by publication, in which event the Director may publish all or any part in the manner the Director may deem appropriate.
