65-1929. Tanning facility license required; remedies. (a) If the board determines that an individual or entity has operated a tanning facility without a valid license, in addition to any other penalties imposed by law, the board, in accordance with the Kansas administrative procedure act, may issue a cease and desist order against such individual or entity or may assess such individual or entity a fine of not to exceed $1,500 or may issue such order and assess such fine. In determining the amount of fine to be assessed, the board may consider the following factors: (1) Willfulness of the violation, (2) repetitions of the violation, and (3) risk of harm to the public caused by the violation.
(b) The board may bring an action in its own name in a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin any person from operating a tanning facility without a currently valid license. In any civil action brought under this section, it shall be presumed that irreparable damage will occur where the board alleges and proves a person committed a violation of such licensing laws. In addition to issuing an order for injunctive relief, the court may also assess a fine of not to exceed $1,500 against such person.
