Any reasonable order with respect to such facility may be enforced through mandamus or injunction by the circuit court of the county where the facility is located, through proper proceedings instituted by the attorney general on behalf of the department. Any superintendent or employee of any facility subject to inspection under the provisions of this act, who shall refuse to admit any duly authorized representative of the department of social welfare for the purpose of visitation and inspection, or who shall refuse or neglect to furnish the information required by the said department, or its duly authorized representative, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
