33-49-112. Violations; penalties; proceedings.
(a) Any person who violates any provision of this chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be subject to the fines and penalties prescribed in W.S. 6-10-103. If the board has reason to believe that any individual is liable under this section, it may certify the facts to the prosecuting attorney of the jurisdiction in which the offense was committed.
(b) The attorney general, the board, any county or district attorney or any citizen may obtain an injunction in the name of the state of Wyoming upon the relation of a complainant enjoining any person from engaging in the practice of acupuncture without a license. The district court of the district in which the offending person resides or the district court of Laramie county has original jurisdiction of any such injunction proceedings. An injunction may be issued without proof of actual damage sustained and upon proof of one (1) or more acts constituting the practice of acupuncture without a license. The standard of proof of any violation of this subsection shall be by a preponderance of the evidence.
(c) Nothing in this section shall limit any additional civil or criminal liability under the laws of this state.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the Wyoming Acupuncture Practice Act shall not apply to persons licensed under title 33, chapter 25 or chapter 26 of the Wyoming statutes.
