      305.192 Disclosure of books and papers relating to appraisal or assessment of industrial property. (1) Notwithstanding ORS 192.311 to 192.478 or any other law or rule, any books or papers produced by an owner or any other person with respect to an industrial property, pursuant to an order issued under ORS 305.190 (1) in connection with the appraisal or assessment of industrial property, shall be exempt from disclosure by the Department of Revenue. No subpoena or judicial order shall be issued compelling the department or any of its officers or employees to disclose those books or papers.

      (2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the department may disclose, subject to any order entered by the court limiting further disclosure, any books or papers, or any part or all of the information contained therein, in a judicial proceeding involving the value of that industrial property with respect to which the books and papers were produced or any other similar industrial property.

      (3) Before the department discloses information under subsection (2) of this section, it shall notify the owner of the property to which the information relates. The owner shall have 30 days to seek an order from the tax court prohibiting or limiting the department’s disclosure of the information. In determining whether to allow disclosure of the information, the court shall consider the need for disclosure and the possible harm to the owner from that disclosure. The decision of the tax court is reviewable by the Supreme Court in the same manner as any other decision of the tax court. [1991 c.903 §3; 1995 c.650 §83]
