Report of suspected violations to regulatory agencies; investigation; report to attorney general; injunctive relief

When the board of governors is informed or reasonably suspects that a health care provider licensed to render professional services is in violation of K.S.A. 40-3402, and amendments thereto, such board shall report the suspected violation to the state agency which licenses, registers or certifies such health care provider. Upon receipt of such report or other evidence of a violation of K.S.A. 40-3402, and amendments thereto, the state agency shall make such investigation as it deems necessary and take such other official action as deemed appropriate. If a violation is found to exist, the state agency shall promptly notify the attorney general of this state. Upon such notice the attorney general or county attorney of the proper county shall, in the name of the state, institute and maintain an action to enjoin the health care provider from rendering professional services in this state in the district court of the district in which such health care provider is rendering professional services.
