Illinois § 29

§ 29.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b.5) of Section 5 of this Act, any person violating any provision of this Act or of a rule or regulation or a plumbing code promulgated thereunder including the minimum code of plumbing standards promulgated hereunder shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor and a fine of $500 for the first offense; and a second or subsequent violation of this Act shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor with a fine of $1,000. Each day of violation constitutes a separate offense. The State's Attorney of the County in which the violation occurred or the Attorney General shall bring such actions in the name of the People of the State of Illinois. The court may enjoin the use of plumbing installed in violation of this Act or of a rule or regulation promulgated thereunder until it has been corrected to comply with the minimum standards for plumbing promulgated under Section 35 of this Act. (2) If it is established that the defendant contrary to this Act has been or is engaging in or about to engage in plumbing without having been issued a license or has been or is engaged in or is about to engage in plumbing after his or her license has been suspended or revoked or after his license has not been renewed, the Court may enter a judgment perpetually enjoining the defendant from further engaging in plumbing contrary to this Act. In case of violation of any injunction entered under this Section, the Court may summarily try and punish the offender for contempt of Court. Such injunction proceedings shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all penalties and other remedies in this Act provided. (Source: P.A. 88-501.)
