45-318. Cease and desist order; hearing; injunctive relief
A. If the director, or a local official designated pursuant to section 9-500.08 or 11-251.09, has reason to believe that a person is violating or has violated this article, the director or local official may give the person written notice that the person may appear and show cause at an administrative hearing to be held at least thirty days from the date of service of the notice why the person should not be ordered to cease and desist from the violation. The notice shall inform the person of the date, time and place of the hearing and the consequences of failure to appear.
B. The decision and order of the director or the local official under subsection A of this section may take such form as the director or local official determines to be reasonable and appropriate and may include a determination of violation, a cease and desist order, a recommendation of a civil penalty and an order directing that positive steps be taken to abate or ameliorate any harm or damage arising from the violation. The person affected may seek judicial review of the final decision of the director as provided in section 45-114, subsection B in superior court in the county in which the violation is alleged to have occurred.
C. If the person continues the violation after the director or local official has issued a final decision and order pursuant to subsection B of this section, the director or local official may apply for a temporary restraining order or preliminary or permanent injunction from the superior court according to the Arizona rules of civil procedure. A decision to seek injunctive relief does not preclude other forms of relief or enforcement against the violator.
D. Section 45-114, subsections A and B govern administrative proceedings, rehearing or review and judicial review of final decisions of the director under this section.
