Under no circumstances shall the identity of the law enforcement employee or the source person be transmitted by the local law enforcement agency or the chief medical officer of the local agency to the State Department of Health Services. (c) The State Department of Health Services shall release the data, upon written request, to any law enforcement agency or to any bona fide, nonprofit law enforcement research body primarily concerned with peace officer health issues, provided that the identity of any law enforcement employee, any person who is the subject of a report, or any tested person under this title shall remain anonymous. Any unauthorized release of information leading to the identity of a person whose identity is protected under this section shall constitute a misdemeanor.
