(225 ILCS 120/80) (from Ch. 111, par. 8301-80)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 80. Violations of Act.
(a) If any person violates the provisions of this Act, the Secretary
may, in the name of the People of the State of Illinois through
the Attorney General of the State of Illinois or the State's Attorney of
any county in which the action is brought, petition for an order enjoining
the violation or for an order enforcing compliance with this Act. Upon
the filing of a verified petition in the court, the court may issue a
temporary restraining order, without notice or bond, and may preliminarily
and permanently enjoin the violation. If it is established that the
person has violated or is violating the injunction, the Court may punish
the offender for contempt of court. Proceedings under this Section shall
be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other remedies and penalties
provided by this Act.
(b) Whoever knowingly conducts business as a wholesale drug distributor or third-party logistics provider
in this State without being appropriately licensed under this Act shall be
guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for a first violation and for each
subsequent conviction shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony.
(c) Whenever in the opinion of the Department any person not licensed in
good standing under this Act violates any 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 him. The rule shall clearly set forth the
grounds relied upon by the Department and shall provide a period of 7 days
from the date of the rule to file an answer to the satisfaction of the
Department. Failure to answer to the satisfaction of the Department shall
cause an order to cease and desist to be issued immediately.
