Cal. Health and Safety Code § 18022.5

(a) Whenever the director determines through an investigation that any person has violated this part, or any regulation, order, license, permit, decision, demand, or requirement or any part or provision thereof issued pursuant to this part, the director may bring an action in the name of the people of the State of California against that person to enjoin the person from continuing the violation or engaging therein or doing any act or acts in furtherance thereof. In the action, an order or judgment may be entered awarding a preliminary or final injunction as may be proper. If the director makes a showing satisfactory to the court that the violation or threatened violation jeopardizes funds and properties of others in the custody or under the control of the defendant, the court may appoint a receiver for management of the business of the defendant, including, but not limited to, the funds and properties of others in his or her possession or may make any other order as it deems appropriate to protect and preserve those funds and properties. (b) The director may include in any action authorized by subdivision (a), a claim for restitution on behalf of the persons injured by the act or practice constituting the subject matter of the action, and the court shall have jurisdiction to award appropriate relief to those persons.
