## Extract

(a) A person who violates this subchapter shall be subject to legal action for damages to be brought by any other person claiming that a violation of this subchapter has injured his or her business, person, or reputation.

## Notes
- **Tier 2 — primary public record.** Codified text of an Arkansas statute; see `ark-code-12-12-1801.md` for the source-tier and currency rationale.
- **Currency.** FindLaw states this section is current as of March 28, 2024.
- **Investigative relevance.** The Act's enforcement mechanism is a private right of action: an injured person may sue for actual or $1,000 liquidated damages. The Act provides no administrative enforcement body. Read with § 12-12-1805(b)(4)(B) (failure to promulgate retention rules is grounds for evidentiary exclusion) and § 12-12-1806 (exclusion of data-derived evidence), this completes the Act's remedial structure.
