1.19 	and permanently revoke the authorization of any individual who willfully entered, updated, 
1.20 	accessed, shared, or disseminated data in violation of state or federal law. If an individual 
1.21 	willfully gained access to data without authorization by law, the commissioner must forward 
1.22 	the matter to the appropriate prosecuting authority for prosecution. The commissioner must 
2.1 	establish a process that allows an individual whose access was revoked to appeal that 
2.2 	decision.
