The board shall levy this penalty only after affording the accused party the opportunity for a hearing, as provided by Title 2 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes (relating to administrative law and procedure). All fines and civil penalties imposed in accordance with this act shall be paid into the Professional Augmentation Account.(c) It shall be unlawful for any person to practice or attempt to offer to practice psychology, as defined in this act, without having at the time of so doing a valid, unexpired, unrevoked and unsuspended license issued under this act. The unlawful practice of psychology, as defined in this act, may be enjoined by the courts on petition of the board or the Commissioner of Professional and Occupational Affairs. In any such proceeding it shall not be necessary to show that any person is individually injured by the actions complained of. If the respondent is found guilty of the unlawful practice of psychology, the court shall enjoin him or her from so practicing unless and until he or she has been duly licensed. Procedure in such cases shall be the same as in any other injunction suit. The remedy by injunction hereby given is in addition to any other civil or criminal prosecution and punishment.1972, March 23, P.L. 136, No. 52, §11.
