(1) When the board has reasonable cause to believe that any person is violating any provision of this article or any lawful rule or regulation issued under this article, it may, in addition to all actions provided for in this article and without prejudice thereto, enter an order requiring such person to desist or refrain from such violation. An action may be brought on the relation of the people of the state of Colorado by the attorney general and the board to enjoin such person from engaging in or continuing such violation or from doing any act in furtherance thereof.
