When the commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that a person has engaged in or is engaging in any act or practice violative of this Part, the commissioner, in addition to and without prejudice to the authority provided elsewhere in this Part, may issue orders to cease and desist and take corrective action, assess civil money penalties, and bring a suit in a court of competent jurisdiction and venue to restrain and enjoin the person from engaging in future violations of this Part or from engaging in other conduct in violation of law. The commissioner shall have the power to promulgate rules and regulations for the enforcement of but not inconsistent with this Part.
