(a)If the commissioner determines that a person has engaged in an act or practice in violation of this chapter or a regulation adopted under this chapter, the commissioner may, after giving reasonable notice to the person and an opportunity for the person to be heard, issue an order prohibiting the violation by the person. The order remains in effect until the person has submitted evidence acceptable to the commissioner showing that the violation has been corrected.

(b)If the public interest requires, the commissioner may issue an emergency order prohibiting an act or practice in violation of this chapter or a regulation adopted under this chapter without notice to or an opportunity to be heard by the person affected by the order. The commissioner shall immediately serve the person with a copy of the emergency order. An emergency order expires 60 days after the date it is issued if the person affected by the order requests a hearing within 15 days of receipt of the order. If the person does not request a hearing within 15 days of receipt of the emergency order, the order becomes permanent. Following a hearing, the commissioner may rescind, modify, or make permanent the emergency order.

(c)A party aggrieved by an order under this section may appeal to the superior court.
