Any collection or required submission of information by the attorney general regarding the identity of any donor to a tax-exempt organization beyond that permitted by sections 130.170 to 130.188 shall be deemed a violation of section 105.1500.
2. The attorney general shall not disclose to the public, or another government official not directly involved in the investigation, information revealing the identity of the entity under investigation or any donor to a tax-exempt organization, unless the information is regarding the identity of the entity or of a donor that engaged in conduct prohibited by sections 130.170 to 130.188 after a final determination has been made that the entity or donor violated sections 130.170 to 130.188. The unlawful disclosure of information revealing the identity of any entity under investigation or donor to a tax-exempt organization in connection with a committee shall be deemed a violation of section 105.1500.
