§ 12-35-137. Independent advertising or marketing agent - injunctive proceedings

(1) Notwithstanding section 12-35-129 (1) (t), a licensed dentist or dental hygienist may employ an independent advertising or marketing agent to provide advertising or marketing services on the dentist's or dental hygienist's behalf, and the same shall not be considered unprofessional conduct.

(2) The board shall not have the authority to regulate, directly or indirectly, advertising or marketing activities of independent advertising or marketing agents except as provided in this section. The board may, in the name of the people of the state of Colorado, apply for an injunction in district court to enjoin any independent advertising or marketing agent from the use of advertising or marketing that the court finds on the basis of the evidence presented by the board to be misleading, deceptive, or false; except that a licensed dentist or dental hygienist shall not be subject to discipline by the board, injunction, or prosecution in the courts under this article or any other law for advertising or marketing by an independent advertising or marketing agent if the factual information that the licensed dentist or dental hygienist provides to the independent advertising or marketing agent is accurate and not misleading, deceptive, or false.
