Judicial Review Courts keeping the State Agency in check A person likely to be affected by a regulation adopted or proposed by the State Agency can bring an action for declaratory judgment in court The State Agency must comply with court orders or judgments

Civil Enforcement State Agency inspections and investigations Notice of violation to offender Order to Cease or Restore Other injunctions through the courts, if necessary Civil liability to the State Agency and other injured parties (continued)
