Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 20 ILCS 510/510-25
- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
- Department: means the Department of Children and Family Services. See Illinois Compiled Statutes 20 ILCS 510/510-5
- Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
- Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.
The Department has the power to initiate injunction proceedings whenever it appears to the Director of Children and Family Services that any person, group of persons, or corporation is engaged or about to engage in any acts or practices that constitute or will constitute a violation of the Child Care Act of 1969 or any rule or regulation prescribed under the authority of that Act. The Director of Children and Family Services may, in the Director’s discretion, through the Attorney General apply for an injunction to enforce the Act, rule, or regulation. Upon a proper showing, any circuit court may enter a permanent or preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order without bond to enforce the Act, rule, or regulation in addition to the penalties and other remedies provided in the Act, rule, or regulation. Appeals may be taken as in other civil cases.
