(b) (1) The notification, as required, shall set forth in detail the ground upon which the driver bases his objections to the entry.
(2) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice, the office shall either remove the entry from the driver's record or notify the driver that the office finds the entry to be correct and that the entry shall remain a part of the driver's record.
(3) If the office finds the entry to be correct, the notification of this fact to the driver shall state the grounds for the finding.

(2) The court's review of such an action shall be limited to a determination of whether the office had just cause to record the traffic violation in question on the record of the aggrieved driver and whether the office acted in compliance with 27-50-902 and 27-50-903.
(3) The burden of proof in the action shall be upon the driver instituting the action.
