Arkansas Code Title 20. Public Health and Welfare § 20-59-303. Enforcement of provisions

(a) The State Board of Health, through its constituted officers and agents, is authorized and directed to administer and to supervise the enforcement of this subchapter, to prescribe rules to carry out its purpose, to provide for such periodic inspections and investigations as it may deem necessary to disclose violations, to receive and provide for the investigation of complaints and to provide for the institution and prosecution of civil or criminal actions, or both.

(b) The provisions of this subchapter and the rules issued in connection therewith may be enforced by injunction in any court having jurisdiction to grant injunctive relief. Adulterated or misbranded articles illegally held or otherwise involved in a violation of this subchapter or of the rules shall be subject to seizure and disposition in accordance with an order of court.

(c) However, any aggrieved party shall have the right to apply to the circuit court in the county of his or her residence for a review of any summary action on the part of the board or its agents. For this purpose, service of process upon the Secretary of the Department of Health at any place in this state shall constitute a valid service in the application for review.
