     144D.05 Authority of commissioner. 


    The commissioner shall, upon receipt of information which 
 may indicate the failure of the elderly housing with services 
 establishment, a resident, a resident's representative, or a 
 service provider to comply with a legal requirement to which one 
 or more of them may be subject, make appropriate referrals to 
 other governmental agencies and entities having jurisdiction 
 over the subject matter.  The commissioner may also make 
 referrals to any public or private agency the commissioner 
 considers available for appropriate assistance to those involved.


    The commissioner shall have standing to bring an action for 
 injunctive relief in the district court in the district in which 
 an establishment is located to compel the elderly housing with 
 services establishment to meet the requirements of this chapter 
 or other requirements of the state or of any county or local 
 governmental unit to which the establishment is otherwise 
 subject.  Proceedings for securing an injunction may be brought 
 by the commissioner through the attorney general or through the 
 appropriate county attorney.  The sanctions in this section do 
 not restrict the availability of other sanctions.
