Any person who knowingly makes any false statements or falsifies or permits to be falsified any records of the system in any attempt to defraud the system, as a result of such an act, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, on conviction, shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $500.00, imprisonment not to exceed 12 months, or both.
