PROMPT JUDICIAL ACTION (§ 36-96.15)

If the Board concludes at any time following the filing of a complaint and after

action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter, the Board may
authorize a civil action by the Attorney General for appropriate temporary or
preliminary relief. Upon receipt of such authorization, the Attorney General
shall promptly commence and maintain such action. Any temporary restraining
order or other order granting preliminary or temporary relief shall be issued in
accordance with the Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure. The commencement of a
civil action under this section shall not affect the initiation or continuation
of administrative proceedings by the Board under § 36-96.8.
