§ 2148. If it appears to the commissioner that a licensee is violating or has violated, o

(a) If it appears to the commissioner that a licensee is violating or has violated, or is failing or has failed to comply with any law of this state, the commissioner may direct the licensee to comply with the law by an order issued under the commissioner’s official seal, or if it appears to the commissioner that any licensee is conducting or has conducted its business in an unsafe or injurious manner, the commissioner may in like manner direct it to discontinue the unsafe or injurious practices. The order shall require the licensee to show cause before the commissioner, at a time and place to be fixed by the commissioner, as to why the order should not be observed. (b) If, upon any hearing held pursuant to subdivision (a), the commissioner finds that the licensee is violating or has violated, or is failing or has failed to comply with any law of this state or is conducting or has conducted its business in an unsafe or injurious manner, the commissioner may make a final order directing it to comply with the law or to discontinue the unsafe or injurious practices. A licensee shall comply with the final order unless, within 10 days after the issuance of the order, its enforcement is restrained in a proceeding brought by the licensee.
