The executive director shall be authorized to provide to any licensing authority of this or any other state, upon inquiry by such authority, information regarding a past or pending investigation of or disciplinary sanction against any applicant for licensure by the board or licensee of the board notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b) of Code Section 43-3-20 or any other law to the contrary regarding the confidentiality of that information; provided, however, that such information shall only be shared after receiving written confirmation from the recipient authority that it assures preservation of confidentiality and the licensee has been given reasonable notice that the information shall be provided to another entity.
