State v. Jones

Summary

The court held that the Uniform Credentialing Act must be read together with the applicable practice acts, so whether a credential is required depends on the conduct performed rather than solely on whether the practitioner's chosen title appears in the statutory list. The evidence at the preliminary hearings was sufficient to establish probable cause that Jones engaged in credentialed medical or midwifery functions after receiving a cease-and-desist order. The court also held that the district court improperly addressed vagueness through pleas in abatement and remanded for consideration of Jones's pending motions to quash and demurrers.
