20. In addition to other remedies for the collection of the tax imposed by this chapter, the Attorney General may of his own motion or upon the request of the director, whenever any tax due under this chapter shall have remained in arrears for a period of three months after the tax shall have become payable, bring an action in the Superior Court in the name of the State, against such corporation for injunctive relief to restrain it from the exercise of any franchise, or the transaction of any business within this State until the payment of such tax and penalties and interest due thereon, and the costs of such application, to be fixed by the court.
