Subd. 2. Injunctive relief. In a proceeding under this section, the court may grant injunctive relief. Subd. 3. Civil penalty. The prosecuting authority may institute proceedings against an enterprise or an individual to recover a civil penalty. The penalty may be imposed in the discretion of the district court for conduct constituting a violation of section 609.903.
