Indiana § 25-31-1-29

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 25: PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS
• Art. 31: PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS
• Ch. 1: Regulation of Engineers; Creation of Board

Text

(a) The attorney general, the prosecuting
attorney of any county, the board, or a citizen of any county where a
person who is not exempted engages in the practice of engineering
without first having obtained a certificate of registration or without first
having renewed an expired certificate of registration may, in
accordance with the provisions of the laws of this state governing
injunctions, file an action in the name of the state of Indiana to enjoin
that person from engaging in the practice of engineering until a
certificate of registration is secured or renewed.
(b) Any person who has been enjoined and violates an injunction
shall be punished for contempt of court. An injunction does not relieve
a person engaged in the practice of engineering without a certificate of
registration or without first having renewed an expired certificate of
registration from a criminal prosecution.
(c) The remedy by injunction is in addition to any remedy provided
for herein for the criminal prosecution of the offender. In charging any
person in a complaint for violation of the provisions of this chapter by
engaging in the practice of engineering without a certificate of
registration or without having renewed an expired certificate of
registration, it is sufficient to charge that the offender:
(1) on a certain day in a certain county practiced or offered to
practice engineering; and
(2) was not registered or exempted under this chapter.
