Illinois Statutes Chapter 505. Agriculture § 95/18. Compliance; remedies

§ 18. No person shall knowingly fail or refuse to comply with any requirement of this Act where obligated to comply by a duly approved milk promotion program. The Milk Promotion Board may institute any action which is necessary to enforce compliance with any provision of this Act or any milk promotion program adopted pursuant to this Act. In addition to any other remedy provided by law, the Milk Promotion Board may petition for injunctive relief without being required to allege or prove the absence of any adequate remedy of law.

Before the Milk Promotion Board may institute any proceedings under this Act, the alleged violator shall first be given an opportunity to present his views to the Milk Promotion Board as to why proceedings should not be instituted. If after the Milk Promotion Board issues its findings, the producer who is in disagreement with the decision or the Milk Promotion Board may request the Department to hold an administrative hearing for determining violations of the Act or compliance with the Act and program. The Milk Promotion Board shall submit to the Department the transcript of its proceedings along with the copies of any documents introduced as evidence. The Department hearing officer's decision shall be the final administrative decision of the Department. Such hearings shall be subject to the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.  1
