II.

In the absence of actual malice, no person shall be subject to civil liability for libel, slander or any other cause of action arising from filing reports or furnishing information concerning any activity that may constitute insurance fraud as defined in RSA 638:20, if such reports or information is provided to or received from the commissioner, law enforcement officials, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, any state or federal agency established to detect, prevent or prosecute insurance fraud, or an insurance company authorized to do business in the state. The immunity conferred by this section applies unless the person seeking to impose civil liability proves actual malice. Any person against whom a civil action is brought, and who is found to be entitled to immunity from liability under this section, shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs from the person who brought the civil action.
