A. 5308                             2

  4. WHENEVER THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SHALL BELIEVE FROM EVIDENCE SATISFAC-
TORY  TO HIM OR HER THAT ANY PERSON, FIRM, CORPORATION OR ASSOCIATION OR

OR SHE MAY BRING AN ACTION IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
FOR  A  JUDGMENT  ENJOINING  THE CONTINUANCE OF SUCH VIOLATION AND FOR A

HAS VIOLATED ANY PROVISION OF THIS SECTION, NO PROOF SHALL  BE  REQUIRED
THAT ANY PERSON HAS BEEN INJURED THEREBY NOR THAT THE DEFENDANT KNOWING-
LY OR INTENTIONALLY VIOLATED SUCH PROVISION.  IN SUCH ACTION PRELIMINARY

OR SHE SEEKS PRELIMINARY RELIEF, THAT TO GIVE SUCH NOTICE  AND  OPPORTU-
NITY IS NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
it shall have become a law; provided, however, that effective immediate-
ly,  the  addition,  amendment  and/or  repeal of any rule or regulation
