(a) The practice of funeral directing and embalming or funeral directing by any person who has not been issued a license by the Department, whose license has been suspended or revoked, or whose license has not been renewed is hereby declared to be inimical to the public welfare and to constitute a public nuisance. The Secretary may, in the name of the People of the State of Illinois through the Attorney General of the State of Illinois, or the State’s Attorney of any county in which the violation is alleged to have occurred in the State of Illinois, apply for an injunction in the circuit court to enjoin any person who has not been issued a license or whose license has been suspended or revoked, or whose license has not been renewed, from practicing funeral directing and embalming or funeral directing. Upon the filing of a verified complaint in court, the court, if satisfied by affidavit or otherwise that the person is or has been practicing funeral directing and embalming or funeral directing without having been issued a license or after his or her license has been suspended, revoked, or not renewed, may issue a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, without notice or bond, enjoining the defendant from further practicing funeral directing and embalming or funeral directing. 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 funeral directing and embalming or funeral directing without having been issued a license or has been or is practicing funeral directing and embalming or funeral directing after his or her license has been suspended, revoked, or not renewed, the court may enter a judgment perpetually enjoining the defendant from further practicing funeral directing and embalming or funeral directing. In case of violation of any injunction entered under this Section, the court may summarily try and punish the offender for contempt of court. Any injunction proceeding shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all penalties and other remedies in this Code.
     (b) Whenever, in the opinion of the Department, any person or other entity violates any provision of this Code, the Department may issue a notice to show cause why an order to cease and desist should not be entered against that person or other entity. The rule shall clearly set forth the grounds relied upon by the Department and shall provide a period of 7 days from the date of the rule to file an answer to the satisfaction of the Department. Failure to answer to the satisfaction of the Department shall cause an order to cease and desist to be issued immediately.
