    3.  Resulting in inaccuracy in a record which is material to determining whether an act or omission occurred if such act or omission constitutes a violation of any law, rule or requirement.

    C.  The State Auditor and Inspector, the Attorney General and other authorized law enforcement officers are authorized to inspect any transaction records or documents, including electronic investment bidding transactions created pursuant to this section.

    D.  The willful interference with the inspections authorized by subsection C of this section or the deliberate falsification or destruction of transaction records, other than as permitted by subsection B of this section, by the State Treasurer, any employee of the State Treasurer, or any other person or firm shall, upon conviction, be a felony and shall be punishable by imprisonment in the State Penitentiary for a term not to exceed three (3) years, by a fine of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00), or by both such imprisonment and fine, and shall also constitute grounds for termination of such employee.  A violation of the requirements of subsection C of this section, shall be grounds for disciplinary action, including termination from employment.
