2. Notwithstanding sub. 1, the following records in the board's possession are not open for public inspection:

b. Records obtained or prepared by the board in connection with an investigation, except that the board shall permit inspection of records that are made public in the course of a hearing by the board to determine if a violation of this chapter has occurred. Whenever the board refers such investigation and hearing records to the appropriate party under s. 303-27, they may be made public in the course of prosecution initiated under this chapter.
