Where any provisions of this chapter or any order adopted thereunder or any rule of the commissioner has been violated, the commissioner upon complaint being filed or on the commissioner's own motion, may issue and serve upon the person engaged in such violation, a complaint stating the charges in that respect, and containing a notice of a hearing upon a day and at a place therein fixed at least ten days after the service of the complaint and notice requiring the person so complained of to appear at the time and place fixed in the notice of hearing and show cause why an order should not be entered by the commissioner requiring such person to cease and desist from the violation alleged. If upon such hearing the commissioner shall find that any of the violations alleged in the order to show cause are true, it shall so find and shall issue and cause to be served upon such person an order requiring such person to cease and desist from such violation. The district court, upon petition, may enforce such cease and desist order by injunction or other appropriate writ or proceedings.
