§ 49-1-1104. Injunctions against unapproved operations.

The department may, in accordance with the laws of this state governing injunctions, maintain an action in the name of the state to enjoin any person, partnership, association, corporation or other entity from establishing, conducting, managing or operating any place or facility providing services to children without having a certificate as required by law, or from continuing to operate any such place or facility following suspension of a certificate or following the effective date of the denial or revocation of a certificate. In charging any defendant in a complaint for injunction, it shall be sufficient to charge that the defendant did, upon a certain day and in a certain county, establish, conduct, manage or operate a place, home or facility of any kind that is a child care program as defined in this part or to charge that the defendant is about to do so without having in effect a certificate as required by law, or that the defendant continues to operate any such place or facility following suspension of a certificate, or following the effective date of the denial or revocation of a certificate, without averring any further or more particular facts concerning the case. Refusal to obey the inspection order may be punished as contempt. Acts 2000, ch. 981, § 44. Cross-References. Contempt of court, title 29, ch. 9.
