§482E-10.7 Violation of chapter; cease and desist order. (a) Whenever it appears to the director that any person has engaged in or is about to engage in any act or practice constituting a violation of this chapter, or any order or rule issued or adopted thereunder, the director may issue a cease and desist order to enforce compliance with this chapter or any such order or rule. The director shall have the discretion to determine the disposition of any executory contracts entered into by the respondent and shall specify in the order whether existing executory contracts shall be suspended or completed.
(b) Upon the issuance of an order under subsection (a), the director shall promptly notify the respondent that the order has been issued and the reasons therefor; that the respondent shall have thirty days to request a hearing in writing; and that if a hearing is requested, the hearing shall commence within fifteen business days of the request, unless extended by the director for good cause. During the pendency of any hearing requested, the cease and desist order shall remain in effect unless vacated or modified by the director.
(c) After the hearing, the director shall issue a final order that shall affirm, vacate, or modify the order in effect during the pendency of the hearing. If no hearing is requested and none is ordered by the director, the order shall remain in effect until it is modified or vacated by the director.
(d) All hearings and rehearings shall be public.
(e) Upon a proper showing, a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or writ of mandamus shall be granted and a receiver or conservator may be appointed for the respondent or the respondent's assets. The court shall not require the director to post a bond. [L 1988, c 339, §3]
