  2.  The department of revenue shall keep records of such reports. However, reports of court-ordered supervision shall not be released to any outside source, except the affected operator and those entities provided for in subsection 4 of section 32.091, and shall be used only to inform the director and the courts that such operator has previously been assigned court supervision.
