Section 369-EEE. Telecommunication-related and energy-related prohibitions as to prize boxes

1. No box or container used to  collect  entries  for
  sweepstakes  or  a  contest  may,  at  the same time, be used to collect
  letters  of   authorization   or   other   documents   that   constitute
  authorizations  by  consumers  to  change  their  primary  long distance
  carriers or to receive or purchase natural gas, electric service, or any
  other telecommunication services.
    2.  Enforcement  by  attorney  general.  Whenever  there  shall  be  a
  violation  of  this  article,  application  may  be made by the attorney
  general in the name of the people of the state of New York to a court or
  justice  having  jurisdiction  by  a  special  proceeding  to  issue  an
  injunction, and upon notice to the defendant of not less than five days,
  to  enjoin  and  restrain  the  continuance of such violation; and if it
  shall appear to the satisfaction  of  the  court  or  justice  that  the
  defendant  has,  in  fact,  violated  this article, an injunction may be
  issued by such court or justice, enjoining and restraining  any  further
  violation,  without  requiring  proof that any person has, in fact, been
  injured or damaged thereby. In any such proceeding, the court  may  make
  allowances  to  the  attorney  general  as  provided in paragraph six of
  subdivision (a) of section  eighty-three  hundred  three  of  the  civil
  practice law and rules, and direct restitution. Whenever the court shall
  determine  that  a violation of this article has occurred, the court may
  impose a civil penalty of not more than one thousand  dollars  for  each
  violation.  In  connection  with  any  such  proposed  application,  the
  attorney general is authorized to take proof and make a determination of
  the relevant fact and to issue subpoenas in accordance  with  the  civil
  practice law and rules.
