1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 629.091 and 640.120, it is unlawful for any person to practice physical therapy in this State unless the person holds a license or a temporary license issued pursuant to this chapter. A person who violates the provisions of this subsection is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
2. In addition to any criminal penalty that may be imposed for a violation of subsection 1, the Board, after notice and hearing, may:
(a) Issue an order against any person who has violated subsection 1 imposing an administrative penalty of not more than $5,000 for each violation. Any administrative penalty collected pursuant to this paragraph must be deposited in the State General Fund.
(b) Issue and serve on the person an order to cease and desist until the person obtains from the Board the proper license or otherwise demonstrates that he or she is no longer in violation of subsection 1. An order to cease and desist must include a telephone number with which the person may contact the Board.
(c) Issue a citation to the person. A citation issued pursuant to this paragraph must be in writing, describe with particularity the nature of the violation and inform the person of the provisions of this paragraph. Each activity in which the person is engaged constitutes a separate offense for which a separate citation may be issued. To appeal a citation, the person must submit a written request for a hearing to the Board not later than 30 days after the date of issuance of the citation.
(d) Impose any combination of the penalties set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c).
