Sec. 70. Enforcement. (a) The Department shall conduct hearings in accordance with the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act if, upon investigation, the Department finds cause to believe the Act, or any rules adopted thereunder, has been violated; or to consider whether to reinstate or revoke a minor's employment certificate in accordance with Section 55. (b) After the hearing, if supported by the evidence, the Department may issue and cause to be served on any party an order to cease and desist from violation of the Act, take further affirmative or other action as deemed reasonable to eliminate the effect of the violation, and may revoke any certificate issued under the Act and determine the amount of any civil penalty allowed by the Act. The Department may serve orders by certified mail or by sending a copy by email to an email address previously designated by the party for purposes of receiving notice under this Act. An email address provided by the party in the course of the administrative proceeding shall not be used in any subsequent proceedings, unless the party designates that email address for the subsequent proceeding. (c) Any party to a proceeding under the Act may apply for and obtain judicial review of an order of the Department entered under this Act in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Review Law, and the Department in proceedings under this Section may obtain an order of court for the enforcement of its order. (d) Whenever it appears that any employer has violated a valid order of the Department issued under this Act, the Director may commence an action and obtain from the court an order upon the employer commanding them to obey the order of the Department or be adjudged guilty of contempt of court and punished accordingly.
