Beginning 6 months after the effective date of this Act, no person, firm, association, or corporation shall act as a petroleum equipment contractor or employee, advertise or assume to act as a petroleum equipment contractor or employee, or use any title implying that the person, firm, association, or corporation is engaged in such practice or occupation, unless licensed by the State Fire Marshal.
The State Fire Marshal, in the name of the People, through the Attorney General, the State's Attorney of any county, any resident of the State, or any legal entity within the State may apply for injunctive relief in any court to enjoin a person who has not been issued a license or whose license has been suspended, revoked, or not renewed, from practicing as a petroleum equipment contractor, and, upon the filing of a verified petition, the court, if satisfied by affidavit or otherwise that the person is or has been practicing in violation of this Act, may enter a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, without bond, enjoining the defendant from further activity. A copy of the verified complaint shall be served upon the defendant and the proceedings shall be conducted as in other civil cases. If it is established that the defendant has been, or is practicing in violation of this Act, the court may enter a judgment perpetually enjoining the defendant from any further unlicensed activity. In the case of violation of any injunctive order or judgment entered under the provisions of this Section, the court may summarily try and punish the offender for contempt of court. Such injunctive proceeding shall be in addition to all penalties and other remedies in this Act.
