Section 59-58-130 - Remedies for violations(A) Whenever it appears to the commission that any person is or has been violating any provisions of this chapter or the regulations promulgated hereunder, the commission shall request the Attorney General, the solicitor, or any appropriate official having jurisdiction in the county in which the nonpublic educational institution or its agent is located, to bring a civil action to restrain that person from the violation, and for other appropriate relief. The action may be brought in the court of common pleas in the county in which the person resides, has his principal place of business, or conducts or transacts business. The courts may issue orders and injunctions to restrain and prevent violations of this chapter, and these orders and injunctions must be issued without bond.(B) If a court finds that any person is wilfully violating or has wilfully violated this chapter, the commission, upon petitioning the court, may recover a civil penalty not exceeding five thousand dollars for each violation. Each degree, diploma, or certificate granted by an institution without the required license is a separate violation and each student enrolled by an agent is a separate violation for purposes of this section.(C) The commission may bring a civil action against a person who violates the terms of an injunction issued under this section for a civil penalty of not more than fifteen thousand dollars. For purposes of this section, the court of common pleas issuing an injunction shall retain jurisdiction, and the cause may be continued and in these cases the commission may petition for recovery of civil penalties.(D) For purposes of this section, a wilful violation occurs when the person committing the violation knew or should have known that his conduct was a violation of this chapter.1992 Act No. 497, Section 1.
