The rights and powers conferred upon the State board and the commissioner by sections 30:1-14, 30:1-15 and 30:1-16 of this Title, so far as they relate to the investigation of the institutions and noninstitutional agencies enumerated therein may be enforced by a civil action against the officer or board having charge of the institution, brought in the Superior Court.
