(2)(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection (2), all information, documents, and copies thereof provided to the commission, a commissioner, or any person employed by the commission in connection with an audit, whether such audit is conducted pursuant to this section or pursuant to any other authority granted to the commission by law, shall be given confidential treatment and shall not be made public by the commission or any other person without either:

(b) This subsection (2) shall not be construed to shield from disclosure information, documents, and copies thereof that are in the commission's possession through the exercise of the commission's audit authority and that are otherwise subject to disclosure under the Colorado open records law, part 2 of article 72 of title 24, C.R.S.
