§ 4502. Penalties. 1. A violation of the provisions of this section
shall constitute a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof may be
punished by imprisonment for not longer than one year or a fine of not
more than five thousand dollars or by both such fine and imprisonment.

2. Whenever there shall be a violation of this section, an application
also may be made by the attorney general in the name of the people of
the state of New York to a court or justice having jurisdiction to issue
an injunction, and upon notice to the defendant of not less than five
days, to enjoin and restrain the continuance of such violation; and if
it shall appear to the satisfaction of the court or justice that the
defendant has, in fact, violated this section, an injunction may be
issued by such court or justice, enjoining and restraining any further
violation, without requiring proof that any person has, in fact, been
injured or damaged thereby. In any such proceeding the court may make
allowances to the attorney general as provided in section 8303,
subdivision 6 of the civil practice law and rules. In connection with
any such proposed application, the attorney general is authorized to
take proof and make a determination of the relevant facts and to issue
subpoenas in accordance with the civil practice law and rules.
