Text

(a) Any person engaged in the practice of medicine or
aiding and abetting another in the practice of medicine without
a license granted by the board is guilty of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not more than one
thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or by imprisonment in the county
jail for not more than one (1) year, or both. Each violation
constitutes a separate offense for which the penalty in this
subsection may be assessed.
(b) Any person filing or attempting to file as his own the
diploma of another or forged affidavit of identification is
guilty of a felony and upon conviction shall be imprisoned in
the penitentiary for a term not exceeding three (3) years.
(c) 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 medicine
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. Any defendant who is enjoined and who thereafter
violates the injunction shall be punished for contempt of court
by a fine of not less than two hundred dollars ($200.00) or more
than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or by imprisonment in the
county jail for not less than six (6) months or not more than
one (1) year, or both. An injunction may be issued without proof
of actual damage sustained and upon proof of one (1) or more
acts constituting practice of medicine without a license. The
standard of proof of any violation of this subsection shall be
by a preponderance of the evidence.
