Nothing in this chapter or any other provision of law
shall require the disclosure of records of a health plan that is
licensed pursuant to the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of
1975 (Chapter 2.2 (commencing with Section 1340) of Division 2 of the
Health and Safety Code) and that is governed by a county board of
supervisors, whether paper records, records maintained in the
management information system, or records in any other form, that
relate to provider rate or payment determinations, allocation or
distribution methodologies for provider payments, formulae or
calculations for these payments, and contract negotiations with
providers of health care for alternative rates for a period of three
years after the contract is fully executed.  The transmission of the
records, or the information contained therein in an alternative form,
to the board of supervisors shall not constitute a waiver of
exemption from disclosure, and the records and information once
transmitted to the board of supervisors shall be subject to this same
exemption.  The provisions of this section shall not prevent access
to any records by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee in the
exercise of its powers pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section
10500) of Chapter 4 of Part 2 of Division 2 of Title 2.  The
provisions of this section also shall not prevent access to any
records by the Department of Corporations in the exercise of its
powers pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 1340) of
Chapter 2.2 of Division 2 of the Health and Safety Code.
