A. In addition to all other remedies, when it appears to the board, either upon complaint or otherwise, that any person or nursing program has violated this chapter or any rule or order of the board, the board may do either of the following:

Terms Used In Arizona Laws 32-1666.01

  • Board: means the Arizona state board of nursing. See Arizona Laws 32-1601
  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • Person: includes a corporation, company, partnership, firm, association or society, as well as a natural person. See Arizona Laws 1-215
  • Service of process: The service of writs or summonses to the appropriate party.
  • Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.

1. Serve by certified mail or personal service a cease and desist order.

2. Through the attorney general or the county attorney of the county in which the violation is alleged to have occurred, apply to the superior court in that county for an injunction.

B. The court shall issue a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction or a permanent injunction without bond.

C. Service of process may be in any county of this state where the violator is found or is operating.
