personal information maintained in, a personal information system, that he knows,

or has reason to know, is false; (4) Intentionally denying to the person the right to inspect and dispute the personal

that violates this chapter.  An action for an injunction may be prosecuted by the person who is the subject of

the violation, by the attorney general, or by any prosecuting attorney.
