§ 1541 Enjoining Community Care Violations

The director may bring an action to enjoin the violation or threatened violation of Section 1503.5 or 1508, or both, in the superior court in and for the county in which the violation occurred or is about to occur. Any proceeding under the provisions of this section shall conform to the requirements of Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 525) of Title 7 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, except that the director shall not be required to allege facts necessary to show or tending to show lack of adequate remedy at law or irreparable damage or loss. Upon a finding by the director that the violations threaten the health or safety of persons in, or served by, a community care facility, the agency contracted with pursuant to Section 1511 may bring an action to enjoin the violation, threatened violation, or continued violation by any community care facility which is located in an area for which it is responsible pursuant to the terms of the contract. With respect to any and all actions brought pursuant to this section alleging actual violation of Section 1503.5 or 1508, or both, the court shall, if it finds the allegations to be true, issue its order enjoining the community care facility from continuance of the violation. (Amended by Stats. 1985, Ch. 1415, Sec. 4.)
