 3    funeral  directing  by  any  person who has not been issued a
 4    license by the Department, whose license has  been  suspended
 5    or  revoked,  or whose license has not been renewed is hereby
 6    declared  to  be  inimical  to  the  public  welfare  and  to
 7    constitute a public nuisance. The  Director  of  Professional
 8    Regulation  may,  in  the  name of the People of the State of
 9    Illinois  through  the  Attorney  General  of  the  State  of
10    Illinois, or the State's Attorney of any county in the  State
11    of  Illinois, apply for an injunction in the circuit court to
12    enjoin any person who has not been issued a license or  whose
13    license  has  been suspended or revoked, or whose license has
14    not been  renewed,  from  practicing  funeral  directing  and
15    embalming or funeral directing. Upon the filing of a verified
16    complaint  in  court, the court, if satisfied by affidavit or
17    otherwise that the person is or has been  practicing  funeral
18    directing  and  embalming or funeral directing without having
19    been issued a license or after his or her  license  has  been
20    suspended,  revoked,  or  not  renewed, may issue a temporary
21    restraining order or preliminary injunction,  without  notice
22    or  bond,  enjoining  the  defendant  from further practicing
23    funeral directing and embalming or funeral directing. A  copy
24    of  the verified complaint shall be served upon the defendant
25    and the proceedings shall thereafter be conducted as in other
26    civil cases. If it is established that the defendant has been
27    or is practicing funeral directing and embalming  or  funeral
28    directing without having been issued a license or has been or
29    is  practicing  funeral  directing  and  embalming or funeral
30    directing after  his  or  her  license  has  been  suspended,
31    revoked,  or  not  renewed,  the  court  may enter a judgment
32    perpetually enjoining the defendant from  further  practicing
33    funeral directing and embalming or funeral directing. In case
34    of  violation  of  any injunction entered under this Section,
 
                            -3-      LRB093 10073 LRD 13735 a
 1    the court may summarily  try  and  punish  the  offender  for
 2    contempt  of  court.  Any  injunction  proceeding shall be in
 3    addition to, and not in lieu  of,  all  penalties  and  other
 4    remedies in this Code.
 5        (b)  Whenever,  in  the  opinion  of  the Department, any
 6    person or other entity violates any provision  of  this  Act,
 7    the  Department may issue a notice to show cause why an order
 8    to cease and desist should not be entered against that person
 9    or other entity. The rule shall clearly set forth the grounds
10    relied upon by the Department and shall provide a period of 7
11    days from the date of the rule  to  file  an  answer  to  the
12    satisfaction  of  the  Department.  Failure  to answer to the
13    satisfaction of the Department shall cause an order to  cease
14    and desist to be issued immediately.
15        (c)  (1)  In  addition  to  any other penalty provided by
16        law,  any  person,  sole   proprietorship,   professional
17        service    corporation,    limited   liability   company,
18        partnership, or other entity that violates  Section  1-15
19        or  1-20 of this Act shall forfeit and pay to the General
20        Professions Dedicated Fund a civil penalty in  an  amount
21        determined by the Department of not more than $10,000 for
22        each   offense.   The   penalty   shall  be  assessed  in
23        proceedings as provided in Sections 15-10  through  15-40
24        of this Act.
25             (2)  Unless the amount of the penalty is paid within
26        60  days  after  the order becomes final, the order shall
27        constitute a judgement and shall be filed  and  execution
28        issued  thereon  in the same manner as the judgement of a
29        court of record.
