21-8-17. Notice and trial before injunction to enforce obscenity laws--Orders to deliver and destroy obscene matter.

Notwithstanding §21-8-16, no restraining order or injunction shall be issued without notice to the person sought to be enjoined. Such person shall be entitled to a trial of the issues within one day after the filing of his answer to the complaint, and a decision shall be rendered by the court within two days of the conclusion of the trial. If a final order or judgment of injunction is entered against the person sought to be enjoined, it shall contain a provision directing the person to surrender any obscene matter in his possession which is subject to the injunction, to the sheriff of the county in which the action was brought, and the sheriff shall be directed to seize and destroy such matter.
