(b) The commissioner may provide assistance under this section through the use of the authority to investigate and any other power conferred by this section or Section 4007.054, 4007.055, 4007.056, or 4007.057, as the commissioner determines to be necessary and appropriate.

(2) compliance with the request for assistance would violate or otherwise prejudice the public policy of this state;
