(1) The commissioner shall be the enforcing authority of this part 1, and the commissioner or the commissioner's authorized representative shall have free and unimpeded access to all places of business and all business records of a licensee pertinent to any proper inquiry in the administration of this part 1. Any person in whom the enforcement of any provision of this part 1 is vested has the power of a peace officer as to such enforcement.

In any such action, the commissioner shall not be required to plead or prove irreparable injury or the inadequacy of a remedy at law. Under no circumstances shall the court require the commissioner to post a bond.
