The Attorney General may seek an order from the superior court if it is necessary to extend this order.

(b)(1) The Attorney General, a district attorney, or a city prosecutor may bring an action in the name of the people of the state seeking declaratory or injunctive relief, restitution for damages or economic loss, rescission, or other equitable relief pertaining to any alleged violation of this article or regulations adopted pursuant to this article. Injunctive relief may include, but is not limited to, an order suspending a party from participation in the electronic recording delivery system, on a temporary or permanent basis.

(2)Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to prevent the Attorney General, a district attorney, or a city prosecutor from seeking legal or equitable relief under any other provision of law.
