             97      record series to another governmental entity, a political subdivision, a government-managed
             98      corporation, the federal government, or another state if the requesting entity provides written
             99      assurance:
             100          (i) that the record or record series is necessary to the performance of the governmental
             101      entity's duties and functions;
             102          (ii) that the record or record series will be used for a purpose similar to the purpose for
             103      which the information in the record or record series was collected or obtained; and
             104          (iii) that the use of the record or record series produces a public benefit that outweighs

             124      recipient's written agreement which may be by mechanical or electronic transmission that it

             126      agreement otherwise governs the sharing of the record or record series.
             127          (5) A governmental entity may disclose a record to another state, the United States, or a

             134      if:
             135          (i) the contractor or private provider's use of the record or record series produces a

             137      series;

             149      that is also included in the previously held record.
             150          (7) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, if a more specific court rule or

             179      substantial financial injury to the governmental entity or state economy;

             211      compensated transaction of real or personal property including intellectual property, which, if
             212      disclosed prior to completion of the transaction, would reveal the appraisal or estimated value
             213      of the subject property, unless:


             214          (a) the public interest in access outweighs the interests in restricting access, including
             215      the governmental entity's interest in maximizing the financial benefit of the transaction; or
             216          (b) when prepared by or on behalf of a governmental entity, appraisals or estimates of

             232          (e) reasonably could be expected to disclose investigative or audit techniques,
