What may the Board seek if someone practices without proper licensure persists?

The Board has the authority to seek assistance from the courts if someone continues to practice without the necessary licensure. This action is often pursued when informal measures or warnings have failed to resolve the issue, indicating that the individual is actively violating licensing laws. In such cases, the Board may file a lawsuit or seek a court order to enforce compliance with licensure requirements. This judicial intervention can result in penalties, fines, or other legal remedies that emphasize the importance of adhering to professional licensing standards.

While other options, such as mediation or issuing a public alert, may be relevant in different contexts of enforcement or communication, they do not carry the same legal weight as court action, which can compel compliance through legal authority. Similarly, while a cease-and-desist letter serves as a warning and can be an initial step taken by the Board, it may not be sufficient if the noncompliance continues. Therefore, the recourse to the courts signifies a more serious and formal response to continued violations of licensing regulations.
