If it is found that a person, public authority, or prevailing wage coordinator has not complied with sections 4115.03 to 4115.16 of the Revised Code, the director of commerce shall give notice thereof in writing to such person or public authority pursuant to section 4115.15 of the Revised Code. Sufficient time shall be allowed for compliance therewith as the director deems necessary not to exceed thirty days from the date of notice.

At the expiration of the time prescribed in such notice, the director shall in writing inform the attorney general of the fact that such notice has been given and that the person, public authority, or prevailing wage coordinator to whom it was directed has not complied with such notice. On receipt thereof, the attorney general shall bring suit in the name of the state in the court of common pleas of the county in which such person, public authority, or prevailing wage coordinator is located to enjoin the awarding of such contract for a public improvement or if the contract has already been awarded to enjoin further work under the contract until the requirements of such notice are complied with.

The court may issue a temporary restraining order without notice to the defendant in such action. Upon final hearing thereof, if the court is satisfied that the requirements of the notice by the director to the defendant was not unreasonable or arbitrary, it shall issue an order enjoining the defendant from awarding such contract for a public improvement or continuing work under the contract until the notice is complied with.

Such injunctions shall continue operative until the court is satisfied that the requirements of such notice have been complied with and the court shall have and exercise with respect to the enforcement of such injunctions all the power invested in it in other similar cases.

Both the plaintiff and defendant in such action have the same rights of appeal as are provided by law in other injunction cases.
