Tennessee Code Title 63. Professions of the Healing Arts § 63-24-108

(c)(1) Any person who practices in this state without having first complied with this chapter commits a Class B misdemeanor for each instance of such practice. Each day any person practices without first obtaining a valid license or renewing a license constitutes a separate offense.

(2) The board, in addition to the powers and duties expressed in this chapter with respect to the grant, denial and discipline of licensure is empowered to petition any circuit or chancery court having jurisdiction of any person within this state who is practicing without a license or to whom a license has been denied, or whose license has been suspended or revoked by action of the board, to enjoin the person from continuing to practice within this state. Jurisdiction is conferred upon the circuit and chancery courts of this state to hear and determine all such causes as equity causes and exercise full and complete jurisdiction in such injunctive proceedings. Nothing in this section shall be construed as conferring criminal jurisdiction upon any court not now possessing such criminal jurisdiction, nor shall any such court, as an incident to the injunctive proceedings authorized in this subdivision (c)(2), have the power to assess the criminal penalties.
