If the attorney general has reason to believe that a person is engaging in, has engaged in, or is about to engage in a violation of § 22-17-5.3, the attorney general may bring an action in the name of the state against the person to restrain the person by temporary or permanent injunction. An action under this section may be brought in the circuit court for the county in which the alleged violator resides or has a place of business, or in the circuit court for Hughes County, South Dakota. The court may issue a temporary or permanent injunction to restrain and prevent any violation of § 22-17-5.3. The attorney general may recover attorney fees, costs, and any other award the court determines is appropriate.
