(a) Any person aggrieved by any action of a temporary nursing services agency may petition the superior court for the judicial district in which the agency’s temporary nursing services were rendered for relief, including temporary and permanent injunctions, or may bring a civil action for damages.

(b) Any temporary nursing services agency that violates any provision of § 19a-118 or 19a-118a may be assessed a civil penalty by the court not to exceed three hundred dollars for each offense. Each violation shall be a separate and distinct offense and, in the case of a continuing violation, each day of continuance thereof shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct offense. The Commissioner of Public Health may request the Attorney General to bring a civil action in the superior court for the judicial district of Hartford for injunctive relief to restrain any further violation of § 19a-118 or 19a-118a. The Superior Court may grant such relief upon notice and hearing.
