§ 246. Examination report

(1) The Commissioner shall make a full written report of every examination conducted.

(2) The Commissioner shall send a copy of the report to the person examined, not less than twenty (20) days prior to the filing of the report for public inspection in the Office. Upon the written request of such person within the twenty (20) day period he/she may submit any objections to the report. The Commissioner shall hold a meeting to consider the objections to such report. If after holding the meeting, the examined person still has objections to the report, he/she may request the Commissioner to hold a hearing for the consideration thereof. The filing of the report for public inspection shall be postponed until the controversy is definitively settled.

(3) Once it is filed for public inspection, the report shall be admissible as evidence in any action or proceeding initiated by the Commissioner against the examined person or his/her officials or representatives; except that the Commissioner or his/her examiners may, at any time, testify and offer other proper evidence as to information secured during the course of an examination, regardless of the fact that a written report of the examination has been either furnished or filed in his/her office at that time.

(4) The Commissioner may withhold any report from public inspection for the reasons stated in § 241 of this title.
