(225 ILCS 106/100)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026)
Sec. 100. Violations; injunctions; cease and desist order.
(a) If a person violates any provision of this Act, the Secretary may, in the
name of the People of the State of Illinois, through the Attorney General,
petition for an order enjoining the violation or an order enforcing compliance
with this Act.
Upon the filling 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 person 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 a person holds himself or herself out as being a
respiratory
care
practitioner under this Act and is not licensed to do so, then any
licensed respiratory care practitioner, interested party, or injured person may
petition for relief as provided in subsection (a) of this Section.
(c) Whenever, in the opinion of the Department, a person 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 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.
