(a)Whenever the commissioner believes, from evidence satisfactory to the commissioner, that a person is violating or about to violate this code or an order or requirement of the commissioner issued or promulgated pursuant to authority expressly granted the commissioner by this code or by law, the commissioner may bring an action in the name of the people of the State of California in the superior court of the State of California against the person to enjoin that person from continuing the violation or engaging therein or doing any act in furtherance thereof. In that action, an order or judgment may be entered awarding the preliminary or final injunction as is proper.

(b)(1) The commissioner may apply to the clerk of the superior court for a judgment to enforce an order requiring a person to pay restitution, a monetary penalty, or reimburse the department for costs incurred by the department in prosecuting a matter. The commissioner’s application shall include a certified copy of the order and any associated decision.

(2)Subject to the requirements of paragraph (3), the order and decision shall constitute a sufficient showing to warrant issuance of a judgment in the amount ordered by the commissioner, plus interest. The clerk of the court shall accordingly enter a judgment within five court days.
