provision of this chapter, or any rule, regulation, or order issued thereunder, the department may, in lieu of issuing an administrative order, apply for an order from a circuit or superior court in the county in which the person takes a substantial step toward violating a law, or a violation occurs. Upon a showing by the department that such person has engaged or is about to engage in any such acts or practices, a permanent or temporary injunction, a restraining order, or other order may be granted.
