(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2020)
Sec. 25. Violations; Injunction; Cease and desist order.
(a) If any person or other entity violates the provisions of this Act, the Director, 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 the county in which the violation is alleged to have occurred, may petition the circuit court for an order enjoining such violation or for an order enforcing compliance with this Act. Upon the filing of a verified petition, the court may issue a temporary restraining order, without bond, and may preliminarily and permanently enjoin such violation. If it is established that such person or other entity 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) If any person practices as a professional engineer or holds himself out as such, without being licensed under the provisions of this Act, then any professional engineer, or any interested party or any person injured thereby may, in addition to the Director, petition for relief as provided in this Section.
(c) (Blank)
(d) Whenever in the opinion of the Department, any person or other entity violates any provision of this Act, the Department may issue a notice to show cause why an order to cease and desist should not be entered against that person or other entity. 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.
