Such response to a written request shall be sent within 10 business days of its receipt and be answered completely and honestly, except where prohibited by state or federal law.
II. If, in the good faith determination of the credential holder, such complete and honest response to a request would put the child at imminent risk of abuse or neglect, as defined in RSA 169-C:3, such credential holder shall file a report with the superintendent, and the request for information shall be denied in writing.
