3236.3. (a) When the supervisor determines that a person has engaged in, is engaged in, or is about to engage in any acts or practices that constitute or will constitute a violation of this chapter, or any regulation, condition of approval, order, or other requirement issued, promulgated, or executed thereunder, the supervisor may apply to a superior court for an order enjoining those acts or practices, or for an order directing compliance. Upon a showing by the supervisor that the person has engaged in or is about to engage in those acts or practices, the court may grant a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other injunctive order appropriate to the circumstances.

(b) At the request of the supervisor, an application for an injunctive order may be applied for under this section by a public prosecutor or the Attorney General.

(c) In any civil action brought pursuant to this section in which a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction is sought, it shall not be necessary to allege or prove at any stage of the proceeding that irreparable damage will occur should the temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction not be issued; or that the remedy at law is inadequate, and the temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction shall issue without those allegations and without that proof.

(Added by Stats. 2023, Ch. 337, Sec. 6. (AB 631) Effective January 1, 2024.)
