Section 16.21. Injunctions

(a)  The supreme court may, on application of the commissioner, enjoin
  violations or threatened violations of any provision of this article  or
  violations of the regulations of the office established pursuant to this
  chapter.  Upon  request  of  the  commissioner, the attorney general may
  maintain a proceeding in the supreme court in the name of the people  of
  the  state  to  enjoin  any such violation, provided that notice of such
  violation or threatened violation and proposed referral to the  attorney
  general  has been given to the violator by mailing notice thereof to the
  last known address of the violator by registered mail.  The  court  may,
  upon  proof that such violation is one which may result in injury to any
  person, whether or not such person is a party to such  action,  grant  a
  temporary  restraining order upon such terms as may be just, pending the
  determination of the proceeding. No security on the part  of  the  state
  shall be required.
    (b)  It  shall be the duty of the attorney general upon the request of
  the commissioner to bring an action for an injunction against any person
  who violates, disobeys or disregards  any  term  or  provision  of  this
  chapter  or  of any lawful notice, order or regulation pursuant thereto;
  provided, however, that the  commissioner  shall  furnish  the  attorney
  general  with  such  material,  evidentiary  matter  or  proof as may be
  requested by the attorney general for the prosecution of such an action.
