         1.  The system shall establish and maintain records of each

      member, the contributions made on behalf of each member with
      interest, interest dividends credited, beneficiary designations, and
      applications for benefits of any type.  The records may be maintained
      in paper, magnetic, or electronic form, including optical disk
      storage, as set forth in chapter 554D.  The system may accept, but
      shall not require, electronic records and electronic signatures to
      the extent permitted under chapter 554D.  These records are the basis
      for the compilation of the retirement benefits provided under this
      chapter.

      public records for the purposes of chapter 22:
         a.  Records containing social security numbers.

      accounts and supplemental accounts.
         c.  Records containing names or addresses of members or their

      beneficiaries.
         e.  Records containing financial or commercial information

      and general statistical information concerning the retirement system
      are subject to chapter 22, as well as aggregate information by
      category.
         4. a.  The system's records are evidence for the purpose of
      proceedings before the system or any court of the amounts of wages
      and the periods in which they were paid, and the absence of an entry
      as to a member's wages in the records for any period is evidence that
      wages were not paid that member in the period.
         b.  Notwithstanding any provisions of chapter 22 to the
      contrary, the system's records may be released to any political
      subdivision, instrumentality, or other agency of the state solely for
      use in a civil or criminal law enforcement activity pursuant to the
      requirements of this subsection.  To obtain the records, the
      political subdivision, instrumentality, or agency shall, in writing,
      certify that the activity is authorized by law, provide a written
      description of the information desired, and describe the law
      enforcement activity for which the information is sought.  The system
      shall not be civilly or criminally liable for the release or
      rerelease of records in accordance with this subsection.
         5.  Confidential records of the system maintained for the
      operation of the retirement system may be released to the directors,
      agents, and employees of the legislative services agency, the
      department of revenue, the department of management, the department
      of administrative services, or an employer of employees covered by
      the retirement system pursuant to rules adopted by the system for the
      performance of the requestor's duties.  To obtain a record under this
      subsection, the person requesting the records shall provide a written
      description of the information requested and the reason for
      requesting the records to the system.  A person receiving a record
      pursuant to this subsection shall maintain the confidentiality of any
      information otherwise required to be kept confidential and shall be
      subject to the same penalties as the custodian of the records for the
      public dissemination of such information.
