(225 ILCS 6/75) (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 75. Violations; injunction; cease and desist order. (a) If an individual violates a provision of this Act, the Secretary may, in the name of the People of the State of Illinois, through the Attorney General or the State's Attorney of the county in which the violation is alleged to have occurred, petition for an order enjoining the violation or for an order enforcing compliance with this Act. Upon the filing of a verified petition, the court with appropriate jurisdiction may issue a temporary restraining order without notice or bond, and may preliminarily and permanently enjoin the violation. If it is established that the individual has violated or is violating the injunction, the court may punish the offender for contempt of court. Proceedings under this Section are in addition to all other remedies and penalties provided by this Act. (b) If an individual holds oneself out as being a licensed behavior analyst or a licensed assistant behavior analyst under this Act and is not licensed to do so, then any licensed behavior analyst, licensed assistant behavior analyst, interested party, or any person injured thereby may petition for relief as provided in subsection (a). (c) Whenever, in the opinion of the Department, an individual violates a provision of this Act, the Department may issue a rule to show cause why an order to cease and desist should not be entered against that person. The rule shall clearly set forth the grounds relied upon by the Department and shall allow at least 7 days from the date of the rule to file an answer satisfactory to the Department. Failure to answer to the satisfaction of the Department shall cause an order to cease and desist to be issued.
