Summary
The Commission may publish reports that summarize court rulings under this chapter, saying what the charge was and how the case ended. It may also share information about dangerous substances when it believes there is an immediate risk to health. That does not stop the Commission from gathering, reporting, and showing the results of its own investigations.
