§457B-10  Injunctive relief.  The
director may apply for an injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to
enjoin any person who has not been issued a license or whose license has been
suspended or revoked or has expired from practicing nursing home
administration; and, upon the filing of a verified petition in the court, the
court or any judge thereof, if satisfied by affidavit or otherwise, may issue a
temporary injunction, without notice or bond, enjoining the defendant from
further practicing nursing home administration.  A copy of the verified
complaint shall be served upon the defendant and the proceedings shall
thereafter be conducted as in other civil cases.  If it is established that the
defendant has been or is practicing nursing home administration without having
been issued a license or has been or is practicing nursing home administration
after the defendant's license has been suspended or revoked or has expired, the
court or any judge thereof may enter a decree enjoining the defendant from
further practicing nursing home administration.  In case of violation of any
injunction issued under this section, the court may summarily try and punish
the offender for contempt of court.  The injunction proceeding shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, all penalties and other remedies provided in
this chapter. [L 1970, c 63, pt of §1; am L 1983, c 135, §4; am L 1997, c 235,
