1.11 	ability to enter, update, or access data in the system must correspond to the official duties 
1.12 	or training level of the individual and to the statutory authorization granting access for that 
1.13 	purpose. All queries and responses, and all actions in which data are entered, updated, 
1.14 	accessed, shared, or disseminated, must be recorded in a data audit trail. Data contained in 
1.15 	the audit trail are public to the extent the data are not otherwise classified by law.

1.17 	accessed, shared, or disseminated data in violation of state or federal law, the commissioner 
1.18 	must conduct an investigation to determine if state or federal law has been violated. The 
1.19 	commissioner must give the individual who is the subject of the investigation notice of the 
1.20 	investigation and provide an opportunity for the individual to participate in the investigation. 
1.21 	If the commissioner determines that the investigation shows that the individual willfully 
1.22 	entered, updated, accessed, shared, or disseminated data in violation of state or federal law, 
1.23 	the commissioner must immediately and permanently revoke the authorization of anythat 
2.1 	individual who willfully entered, updated, accessed, shared, or disseminated data in violation 
2.2 	of state or federal law. An individual who has had authorization revoked may initiate a 
2.3 	contested case proceeding under chapter 14 within 60 days of the revocation. An individual 
2.4 	aggrieved by a final decision in the contested case regarding revocation is entitled to judicial 
2.5 	review of the decision as provided in sections 14.63 to 14.68. If anthe commissioner 
2.6 	determines that the investigation shows that the individual willfully gained access to data 
2.7 	without authorization by law, the commissioner must forward the matter to the appropriate 
2.8 	prosecuting authority for prosecution.
2.9 	(c) The commissioner must arrange for an independent biennial audit of the driver and 
2.10 	vehicle services information system to determine whether data currently in the system are 
2.11 	classified correctly, how the data are used, and to verify compliance with this subdivision. 
2.12 	The results of the audit are public. No later than 30 days following completion of the audit, 
2.13 	the commissioner must provide a report summarizing the audit results to the commissioner 
2.14 	of administration; the chairs and ranking minority members of the committees of the house
