        202.3  PRODUCTION CONTRACTS -- CONFIDENTIALITY
      PROHIBITED.
         1.  A contractor shall not on or after May 24, 1999, enforce a
      provision in a production contract if the provision provides that
      information contained in the production contract is confidential.
         2.  A provision which is part of a production contract is void if
      the provision states that information contained in the production
      contract is confidential.  The confidentiality provision is void
      whether the confidentiality provision is express or implied; oral or
      written; required or conditional; contained in the production
      contract, another production contract, or in a related document,
      policy, or agreement.  This section does not affect other provisions
      of a production contract or a related document, policy, or agreement
      which can be given effect without the voided provision.  This section
      does not require a party to a production contract to divulge the
      information in the production contract to another person.
