What are the penalties if someone practices recreational therapy/therapeutic recreation without being licensed?
The state licensing board can apply for a restraining order or an injunction to prevent continued violations of the law and can pursue action in civil court for a class 1 misdemeanor for misrepresentation of a license to practice recreational therapy or for practicing recreational therapy without a license. The licensing board can issue sanctions and penalties and may require remedial education, issue a letter of reprimand or restrict, revoke, suspend or deny any license if the board determines the licensee violated any provisions of Chapter 90C.
