Section 487.2166 - Cease and desist order.

Sec. 46.

(1) If in the opinion of the commissioner a licensee is, has, or is about to engage in a practice that poses a threat of financial loss or threat to the public welfare, or is, has, or is about to violate this act, state or federal law, or an applicable rule or regulation, the commissioner may serve a notice of intention to issue a cease and desist order. A notice served under this section shall contain a statement of the facts constituting the alleged practice or violation and shall fix a time and place for a hearing at which the commissioner will determine whether to issue an order to cease and desist against the licensee.

(2) A licensee that fails to appear at a hearing under subsection (1) consents to the issuance of a cease and desist order. If a licensee consents, or upon the record made at the hearing the commissioner finds that the practice or violation specified in the notice has been established, the commissioner may serve upon the licensee an order to cease and desist from the practice or violation. The order may require the licensee and its executive officers, employees, and agents to cease and desist from the practice or violation and to take affirmative action to correct the conditions resulting from the practice or violation.

(3) Except to the extent it is stayed, modified, terminated, or set aside by the commissioner or a court, a cease and desist order is effective on the date of service. A cease and desist order issued with the consent of the licensee is effective at the time specified in the order and remains effective and enforceable as provided in the order.
