(a) Whenever the Attorney General has reason to believe that any person, group, or entity is violating, has violated, or is about to violate Section 8 or 9 or subsection (a), (b), or (c) of Section 10, the Attorney General may bring an action in the name of the People of the State against the person, group, or entity to restrain by preliminary or permanent injunction the use of any practice that violates Section 8 or 9 or subsection (a), (b), or (c) of Section 10. In such an action, the court may award restitution to recoup the loss of moneys set aside to provide services to veterans or any other relief that the court deems proper.

(c) In any action brought under the provisions of Section 8 or 9 or subsection (a), (b), or (c) of Section 10, the Attorney General is entitled to recover costs.
(d) If a court orders a party to make payments to the Attorney General and the payments are to be used for the operations of the Office of the Attorney General or a party agrees, in an out-of-court settlement, to make payment to the Attorney General for the operations of the Office of the Attorney General, then moneys shall be deposited into the Attorney General Court Ordered and Voluntary Compliance Payment Projects Fund. Moneys in the Fund shall be used, subject to appropriation, for the performance of any function pertaining to the exercise of the duties of the Attorney General, including, but not limited to, enforcement of any law of this State and conducting public education programs. However, any moneys in the Fund that are required by the court or by an agreement to be used for a particular purpose shall be used for that purpose.
(b) In addition, the court may assess a civil penalty not to exceed $5,000 for each violation of Section 8 or 9 or subsection (a), (b), or (c) of Section 10.
