Section 71-1915
Director; emergency powers; injunction.

(1) Whenever the director finds that an emergency exists requiring immediate action to protect the physical well-being and safety of a child in a program, the director may, without notice or hearing, issue an order declaring the existence of such an emergency and requiring that such action be taken as the director deems necessary to meet the emergency. The order may include an immediate prohibition on the care of children by the licensee other than children of the licensee. An order under this subsection shall be effective immediately. Any person to whom the order is directed shall comply immediately, and upon application to the director, the person shall be afforded a hearing as soon as possible and not later than ten days after his or her application for the hearing. On the basis of such hearing the director shall continue to enforce his or her order or rescind or modify it.

(2) The director may petition the appropriate district court for an injunction whenever he or she believes that any person is violating the Child Care Licensing Act, an order issued pursuant to the act, or any rule or regulation adopted and promulgated pursuant to the act. It shall be the duty of each county attorney or the Attorney General to whom the director reports a violation to cause appropriate proceedings to be instituted without delay to ensure compliance with the act, rules, regulations, and orders.
