| 21 | | county, any resident of the State, or any legal
entity within |
| 22 | | the State may apply for injunctive relief in any court to |

any person who has not been issued a license or whose |

| | HB2444 | - 2 - | LRB097 07591 CEL 47702 b |
|
|
| 1 | | license

the court, if satisfied by affidavit or |
| 4 | | otherwise, that such person
is or has been practicing in |
| 5 | | violation
of this Act may enter a temporary restraining order
|
| 6 | | or preliminary injunction, without bond, enjoining
the |

Section, the |

| 20 | | return, to pay the tax, penalty, or
interest shown in a filed |
| 21 | | return, or to pay any final assessment of tax,
penalty, or |
| 22 | | interest, as required by any tax Act administered by the
|
| 23 | | Illinois Department of Revenue, until such time as the |
| 24 | | requirements of any such
tax Act are satisfied.
