Sec. 29. (a) The attorney general, the prosecuting attorney of any county, the board, or a citizen of any county where a person who is not exempted engages in the practice of engineering without first having obtained a certificate of registration or without first having renewed an expired certificate of registration may, in accordance with the provisions of the laws of this state governing injunctions, file an action in the name of the state of Indiana to enjoin that person from engaging in the practice of engineering until a certificate of registration is secured or renewed.(b) Any person who has been enjoined and violates an injunction shall be punished for contempt of court.

In charging any person in a complaint for violation of the provisions of this chapter by engaging in the practice of engineering without a certificate of registration or without having renewed an expired certificate of registration, it is sufficient to charge that the offender:(1) on a certain day in a certain county practiced or offered to practice engineering; and(2) was not registered or exempted under this chapter.Formerly: Acts 1935, c.148, s.29; Acts 1947, c.262, s.12.
