37-34-307. Violation -- penalties -- injunction -- manner of charging violation. (1) A person who violates a provision of this chapter or a rule adopted pursuant to this chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor and is punishable by a fine not to exceed $500, by imprisonment in the county jail for a term of not more than 6 months, or both.
     (2) Except as provided in 37-34-302, the board may maintain an action to enjoin a person from engaging in the practice of clinical laboratory science until a license to practice is obtained. A person who has been enjoined and who violates the injunction is punishable for contempt of court. The injunction does not relieve the person practicing clinical laboratory science without a license from criminal prosecution. The remedy by injunction is in addition to remedies provided for criminal prosecution of the offender.
     (3) When charging a person in a complaint for injunction or in an affidavit, information, or indictment with a violation of law by practicing clinical laboratory science without a license, it is sufficient to charge that the person did, on a certain day and in a certain county, engage in the practice of clinical laboratory science while not having a license to do so, without specifying particular facts concerning the violation.
