• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 27: Labor and Employment
• Ch. 11: OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Text

Whenever it appears to the commission that any person has
engaged or is about to engage in any act or practice
constituting a violation of any provision of this act, or any
rule, regulation, or order hereunder, the commission, its
chairman, or any person so authorized by the commission may
bring an action in the name of the state in the district court
of any county in which the violation occurred or where it
appears a violation may occur to enjoin the acts or practices to
enforce compliance with this act, rule or regulation or order
hereunder. Upon a proper showing a permanent or temporary
injunction or restraining order shall be granted. This action
shall not exempt the person so enjoined from penalty, as
provided in W.S. 27-11-107, or from enforcement of any other
section of the act. The court may not require the commission,
its chairman, or any person authorized to bring such action, to
post a bond for more than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00),
and the state of Wyoming does hereby waive sovereign immunity up
to and including the amount of the bond the court requires
posted in each suit but in no event shall such waiver be more
than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) for liability incurred
due to wrongfully causing a court to order a person to cease
operating his business pursuant to this act.
