License required to practice athletic training; certain acts prohibited without license; exception for certain student athletic trainers; injunctions against unlicensed activities.
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, unless he has been issued a license as an athletic trainer by the Board pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, a person shall not:
(a) Engage in the practice of athletic training;
(b) Hold himself out as licensed or qualified to engage in the practice of athletic training; or
(c) Use in connection with his name any title, words, letters or other designation intended to imply or designate him as a licensed athletic trainer.
2. A student athletic trainer or graduate student athletic trainer may engage in the practice of athletic training while under the supervision of a licensed athletic trainer.
3. If the Board determines that a person has engaged, or is about to engage, in any act or practice that constitutes, or will constitute, a violation of the provisions of this section, the Board may make an application to an appropriate court for an order enjoining that act or practice, and upon a showing by the Board that the person has engaged, or is about to engage, in that act or practice, the court shall issue an injunction against that act or practice. Such an injunction does not prevent a criminal prosecution for that act or practice.
