Chapter 35 - Attorney General
Section 3-129. To proceed - against healing arts practitioners accused of obtaining licenses through misrepresentation.

The Attorney General may, upon his own motion or upon the sworn complaint of any two electors within the county in which any person holding a certificate of registration to practice any of the healing arts resides, prefer charges to the superior court of such county against such person, alleging that he procured such certificate through fraud, and said court shall, within fourteen days thereafter, summon such person to appear before it at a given time and place to show cause why his certificate of registration should not be revoked. Such summons may be served by any proper officer by leaving a copy thereof with the accused or at his usual place of abode at least six days before the same is returnable. If such court, upon hearing, finds such charges to be sustained, it shall certify such finding to the Commissioner of Public Health, who shall thereupon revoke such certificate. The procedure authorized in this section shall be in addition to any procedure authorized by any other statutory provision.
