(2) The identity of any complainant or resident on whose behalf a complaint is made, or individual providing information on behalf of the complainant or the resident, shall be confidential. If the complaint becomes the subject of judicial proceedings, the investigative information held by the ombudsman or designee shall be disclosed for the purpose of the proceedings if requested by the court.
