§374 Taking or Use of or Bathing in Water in Violation of Rules and Regulations

Summary

You must follow the rules the Secretary of the Interior sets before you enter, use, or bathe in any spring on the described tract. If you are under medical treatment, you must show proof that you are a patient of a physician who is registered with the park superintendent as allowed to prescribe the waters. Doing any of those things without following the rules or without the required proof is a misdemeanor punishable by up to $100 and payment of court costs. A doctor who gives a permit but is not properly registered can be punished. Doctors who look for patients by hiring drummers or by active solicitation cannot be registered. A person who uses a permit is not punished unless they knew or had reason to believe the doctor was not registered.
