(410 ILCS 635/12) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 2212)
Sec. 12.
Whenever the enforcing agency finds that an imminent hazard
to the public health exists which requires immediate action to protect the
public health, it may, without any administrative procedure to bond, bring
an action for immediate injunctive relief to require that such
action be taken as the court may deem necessary to meet the emergency,
including the closing of the dairy farm, milk plant, receiving or transfer
station, cleaning and sanitizing facility, milk hauler-sampler,
milk tank truck, or certified pasteurizer sealer or the suspension or
revocation of the permit. Notwithstanding any
other
provision of this Act, such order shall be effective immediately. The
court may issue an ex parte order and shall schedule a hearing on the
matter no later than 3 working days from the date of the injunction. Where
this Act is being enforced by the State of Illinois, the State's Attorney
of the county in which the violation occurred or the Attorney General shall
bring such actions in the name of the People of the State of Illinois.
When, in the opinion of the enforcing agency, such conditions are abated,
it may authorize reopening the plant, cleaning and sanitizing facility
or station, and the injunctive order shall be dissolved.
