(225 ILCS 15/27) (from Ch. 111, par. 5377)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)
Sec. 27. Injunctions. It is hereby declared to be a public nuisance for
any person
to render or offer to render clinical psychological services as defined in
Section 2 of this Act or to represent himself as a clinical
psychologist or
that the services he or she
renders are clinical psychological services as defined in
Section 2 of this Act, without having in effect a
currently valid license as defined in this Act. The Secretary, Attorney
General, or the State's
Attorney of the county in which such nuisance has occurred may file
a complaint in the circuit court in the name of the People of the State of
Illinois perpetually to enjoin such person from performing such unlawful
acts. Upon the filing of a verified complaint in such cause, the court, if
satisfied that such unlawful act has been performed and may continue to be
performed, shall enter a temporary restraining order or preliminary
injunction without notice or bond enjoining the defendant from performing
such unlawful act.
If it is established that the defendant contrary to this Act has been
rendering or offering to render clinical psychological services as defined in
Section 2 of this Act or
is engaging in or about to engage in representing himself as a clinical
psychologist or
that the services he or she renders are clinical psychological
services as defined in Section 2 of this Act,
without having been issued a license or after his or her license has been
suspended or revoked or after his or her license has not been renewed, the
court,
may enter a judgment perpetually enjoining such person from further
engaging in the unlawful act. In case of violation of any injunction
entered under this Section, the court, may summarily try and punish the
offender for contempt of court. Such injunction proceedings shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, all penalties and other remedies provided
in this Act.
