Section 257.1321 — Cease and desist order.

Sec. 21.

(1) If the administrator determines after notice and a hearing that a person has violated this act or a rule promulgated pursuant to it, or engaged in an unfair or deceptive method, act, or practice, directly or through an agent or employee, he may issue an order requiring the person to cease and desist from the unlawful act or practice or to take such affirmative action as in the judgment of the administrator will carry out the purposes of this act.

(2) If the department makes a finding of fact in writing that the public interest will be irreparably harmed by delay in issuing an order, it may issue a temporary cease and desist order. Prior to issuing the temporary cease and desist order, the administrator when possible by telephone or otherwise shall give notice of the proposal to issue a temporary cease and desist order to the facility. A temporary cease and desist order shall include in its terms a provision that upon request a hearing shall be held within 30 days to determine whether or not the order shall become permanent.
