C.R.S. Section 26-6-918
Injunctive proceedings

The department, in the name of the people of the state of Colorado, through the attorney general of the state, must apply for an injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin a person from operating a facility or agency without a license that is required to be licensed pursuant to this part 9. If the person does not have a valid license pursuant to this part 9, the person’s license has been revoked pursuant to section 26-6-914, or the person does not meet the licensing exemption criteria set forth in section 26-6-904, yet provides child care and has a pattern of providing the child care without a valid license as required by this part 9, and despite having received notification from the department that the person, facility, or agency is in violation of the law, then the person, facility, or agency is providing unlicensed and illegal child care. At the time the department applies for an injunction, the department shall notify law enforcement of the injunction proceedings. If it is established that the defendant has been or is operating the facility or agency without a valid license, the court shall enter a decree enjoining the defendant from further operating the facility unless and until the person obtains a license as required by this part 9. In case of a violation of an injunction issued pursuant to this section, the court may summarily try and punish the offender for contempt of court. Injunctive proceedings pursuant to this section are in addition to and not in lieu of the penalty provided in section 26-6-919.
