8 Sec. 10. License requirement; injunction. No person shall
9 act as a fire equipment distributor or employee, or advertise

18 The State Fire Marshal, in the name of the People and
19 through the Attorney General, the State's Attorney of any
20 county, any resident of the State, or any legal entity within
21 the State may apply for injunctive relief in any court to
22 enjoin any person who has not been issued a license or whose
23 license has been suspended, revoked, or not renewed from

12 return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty, or
13 interest, as required by any tax Act administered by the
14 Illinois Department of Revenue, until such time as the
