(3) Notwithstanding subsection (2) of this section, a financial institution can satisfy its obligation to conduct a data match and provide information to the administrator under this section as provided in rules adopted by the department. (4) If a financial institution at which an obligor has a claim for insurance benefits or payments has not previously provided the administrator with the information required by this section, the financial institution must provide the administrator with at least three business days’ advance written notice before disbursing any payment to the obligor pursuant to the claim. (5) The administrator shall pay a reasonable fee to a financial institution for conducting the data match provided for in this section. The fee may not exceed the actual costs incurred by the financial institution. (6) A financial institution, including an institution-affiliated party as defined in section 3(u) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1813(u)), is not liable under any state law to any person and, except as provided in this section, shall not be in violation of any other law regulating the handling of an account because the financial institution: (a) Discloses information to the administrator under this section; (b) Encumbers or surrenders any assets held by the financial institution in response to a notice of lien or levy issued by the administrator; or (c) Takes any other action in good faith to comply with the requirements of this section.
