Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 40, § 2189. Operating without or in violation of license; injunctive relief

If any hospice operates without a valid license issued by the department or if any organization or entity uses the term “hospice” in its name or represents itself as a “hospice” without being licensed as provided herein, the department may cause a civil suit for injunctive relief to be instituted in a district court in the parish in which the facility is located, including a temporary restraining order, to restrain the institution, agency, corporation, person or persons, or any other group operating the facility from continuing the violation. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prohibit the use of the term “hospice” by nonprofit organizations qualifying under the provisions of 26 CFR 1.501(c)(3)-1, for the express purpose of providing support to licensed hospices in Louisiana.
