   22  with the screening requirements. The department may adopt rules
   23  relating to the screening requirements for summer day camps and
   24  summer 24-hour camps.
   25         (4) The department or local licensing agency may commence
   26  and maintain all proper and necessary actions and proceedings
   27  for any of the following purposes:
   28         (a) To protect the health, sanitation, safety, and well
   29  being of all children under care.

   33  for cause shown to grant a temporary or permanent injunction
   34  restraining any person or entity from willfully and knowingly
   35  violating or continuing to violate any of the child care
   36  personnel screening requirements in ss. 402.305 and 402.3055,
   37  including refusing to terminate the employment of personnel
   38  found to be in noncompliance.
   39         (d) To impose an administrative fine, not to exceed $100
   40  per violation per day, for each violation of the child care
   41  personnel screening requirements in ss. 402.305 and 402.3055.
   42         (5) To be in compliance with the requirements of this
