  and ending dates of such participation, and other information related to such participation
  not made confidential under member state law; (5) any denial of application for licensure, and the reason or reasons for such denial; (6) the presence of current significant investigative information; and (7) other information that may facilitate the administration of this Compact or the protection
  of the public, as determined by the rules of the Commission. (d) The records and information provided to a member state pursuant to this Compact or
  through the data system, when certified by the Commission or an agent thereof, shall
  constitute the authenticated business records of the Commission and shall be entitled
  to any associated hearsay exception in any relevant judicial, quasi-judicial, or administrative
  proceedings in a member state. (e)(1) Current significant investigative information pertaining to a licensee in any member
  state will only be available to other member states. (2) It is the responsibility of the member states to report any adverse action against
  a licensee and to monitor the database to determine whether adverse action has been
  taken against a licensee. Adverse action information pertaining to a licensee in any
  member state will be available to any other member state. (f) Member states contributing information to the data system may designate information
  that may not be shared with the public without the express permission of the contributing
  state. (g) Any information submitted to the data system that is subsequently expunged pursuant
