Criminal penalties (a) GENERAL PENALTY.—A person (except an individual described in section 30305(b)(6) 1 of this title) shall be fined under title 18, impris- oned for not more than one year, or both, if— (1) the person receives under section 30305 of this title information specified in section 30304(b)(1)(A) or (C) of this title; (2) disclosure of the information is not au- thorized by section 30305 of this title; and (3) the person willfully discloses the infor- mation knowing that disclosure is not author- ized.

L. 97–364, § 208, 96 Stat. 1746; Dec. 30, 1987, Pub. L. 100–223, § 305(b)(1), 101 Stat. 1526. In this section, the words ‘‘fined under title 18’’ are substituted for ‘‘fined not more than $10,000’’ for con- sistency with title 18. In subsection (a), before clause (1), the reference to ‘‘section 30305(b)(6) of this title’’ is used to carry out the probable intent of Congress. Section 305(b)(1) of the Airport and Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1987 (Public Law 100–223, 101 Stat. 1526) amended sec- tion 206(b) of the National Driver Register Act of 1982 (Public Law 97–364, 96 Stat. 1744) by ‘‘redesignating paragraphs (3) and (4), and any reference thereto, as paragraphs (4) and (5), respectively’’. Because the ref- erence to ‘‘section 206(b)(4)’’ in section 208 of the Na- tional Driver Register Act of 1982 appears to have been incorrect before that amendment, and would continue to be incorrect if the reference is redesignated as re- quired by the amendment, a reference to section 30305(b)(6) is used in this section to carry out the prob- able intent of Congress. Editorial Notes REFERENCES IN TEXT Section 30305(b) of this title, referred to in subsec. (a), was amended by Pub. L. 105–178, title II, § 2006(b)(2)(A), (B), June 9, 1998, 112 Stat. 336, which added a new par. (6) and redesignated former par. (6) as (10). § 30308.
