Sec. 19a-425. (Formerly Sec. 19-544). Penalty. Equitable relief. Any person
who establishes, conducts or maintains a youth camp without a license as required by
this chapter for a first offense shall be subject to a civil penalty of not more than five
hundred dollars, and for a second or subsequent offense shall be subject to a civil penalty
of not more than seven hundred fifty dollars, and each day during which a youth camp
is conducted or maintained without a license, after notification to such person by the
commissioner, shall constitute a separate offense. The Commissioner of Public Health
may apply to the superior court for the judicial district of Hartford, or for the judicial
district where the defendant named in such application resides, for an injunction to
restrain the operation or maintenance of a youth camp by any person other than a licensed
operator. The application for such injunction or the issuance of the same shall be in
addition to and shall not relieve any such person from the imposition of a civil penalty
under this section. In connection with any such application for an injunction, it shall
not be necessary to prove that an adequate remedy at law does not exist.
