Any person who does not obtain a permit as required in § 62-38-202 or whose permit has been revoked or suspended and who continues to tattoo or operate a tattoo establishment commits a Class B misdemeanor punishable only by a fine of five hundred dollars ($500).
Any suspension or revocation may be appealed to the local health officer who shall then conduct a hearing of the appeal in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5. The decision made by the local health officer concerning the appeal may be appealed to the commissioner, the appeal to the commissioner being limited to the issue of determining whether a material error of law was made at the hearing level.
The department is encouraged to utilize its existing resources to collaborate with local law enforcement to identify and assess administrative penalties against persons who violate this part.
