(a) The members of the board shall investigate any supposed violation of this chapter and report to the proper district attorney general all the cases that in the judgment of such member or members warrant prosecution.

(b) It is the duty of the district attorneys general to prosecute violators of this chapter.

(c)

(1) The board may, through the department of health's general counsel, petition any circuit or chancery court having jurisdiction over any person within this state who is practicing medicine without a license or in violation of a restriction or condition placed upon a license, regardless of whether such practice resulted from a license being restricted, conditioned, denied, or because a license has been suspended or revoked by action of the board, or any other reason, to enjoin such person from conducting or continuing to conduct the unlawful practice of medicine within this state.

(2) Jurisdiction is conferred upon the circuit and chancery courts of this state to hear and determine all such causes as equity causes and are authorized to exercise full and complete jurisdiction in these injunctive proceedings. Nothing in this section shall be construed as conferring criminal jurisdiction upon any court not now possessing such criminal jurisdiction, nor shall any such court, as an incident to the injunctive proceedings authorized in this section, have the power to assess criminal penalties.

(d) The board shall retain rulemaking authority to adjust the administration of its contested case docket in order to provide for the efficient and orderly disposition of contested cases. This authority may include rulemaking for the setting of reasonable limitations on deadlines for case settlements, and whether several contested cases are set on each meeting's docket of business.
