A. If the director has reason to believe that a person is violating or has violated this chapter or an order issued pursuant to this chapter, the director may give the person written notice that the person may appear and show cause at an administrative hearing in the county in which the violation is alleged to have occurred why the person should not be ordered to cease and desist from the violation.
B. The decision and order of the director under this section may take such form as the director determines to be reasonable and appropriate and may include a determination of violation, a cease and desist order, the recommendation of a civil penalty and an order directing that positive steps be taken to abate or ameliorate any harm or damage arising from the violation. The person affected may seek judicial review of the final decision of the director as provided in section 45-114, subsection B in the superior court in the county in which the violation is alleged to have occurred.
C. If the person continues the violation after the director has issued a final decision and order pursuant to subsection B of this section, the director may apply for a temporary restraining order or preliminary or permanent injunction from the superior court in the county in which the violation is alleged to have occurred according to the Arizona rules of civil procedure. A decision to seek injunctive relief does not preclude other forms of relief or enforcement against the violator.
D. Section 45-114, subsections A and B govern administrative proceedings, rehearing or review and judicial review of final decisions of the director under this section.
